Headword:
*au)topaqw=s
Adler number: alpha,4515
Translated headword: candidly, from one's own experience
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Polybius [writes]: "cross-examined about each man he spoke in reply; he supported the inquiries nothing other than candidly and nobly."[1]
And elsewhere: "Hannibal was believed, since he seemed to have spoken both candidly and truthfully."[2]
So
au)topaqw=s [means] innately, from one's own character.
"Accordingly
Antiochus thought what had been said by Hannibal against the Romans [was said] candidly and truthfully, and he abandoned his former suspicion."[3]

Notes:
The headword adverb is illustrated by all three of the quotations given.
[1]
Polybius 8.17.7-8, initially abridged.
[2] Adler tentatively asssigned this quotation to Appian, but on no discernible basis. In fact [DW] the phraseology is uncannily like that of the
Polybius passage about to be quoted, and latterly Favuzzi [see under
alpha 1596] 202-203 has proposed an attribution to that author.
[3]
Polybius 3.12.1.
