one’s own hands of a person’s own hands But in rendering ACT 27:19, it may be somewhat superfluous or even misleading to speak about throwing over the ships tackle ‘with their own hands.’ The emphasis is not upon the hands so much as the activity of the people aboard the ship. Therefore, one may better translate ACT 27:19 as ‘they themselves threw the ships tackle overboard.’ Obviously, more than the hands were employed in this activity.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
αὐτόχειρ is warranted in literature: we have not noticed it in our Sources, except Vettius Valens. He uses it absolutely, p. 126°, = ‘‘suicides,’’ and so 127!%:. it may have the same sense p. 39°.
