Translation

[Meaning] wholeheartedly, eagerly.¹
Polybius [writes]: "Achaios, having received Bolis enthusiastically and cordially, questioned him at length about every aspect of the plan".¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐκτενῶς· ὁλοψύχως, προθύμως. Πολύβιος· ὁ δὲ Ἀχαιὸς προσδεξάμενος ἐκτενῶς καὶ φιλανθρώπως τὸν Βῶλιν ἀνέκρινε διὰ πλειόνων ὑπὲρ ἑκάστου τῶν κατὰ μέρος.

Notes (1)

[1] Similarly (glossed proqu/mws, diatetame/nws) in Hesychius, where Latte claims the headword adverb as quoted from the Septuagint (e.g. Judith 4.12).
2Polybius 8.19.1 (web address 1), copied to beta 480; see also pi 1653. (8.15-21 recount events of 214 BCE; Bolis, an otherwise unknown Cretan, has a "plan" to capture, under the guise of a rescue, the beleaguered Seleucid pretender Achaios.)
