Ὁ δὲ Ἀνδοκίδης πολιτικὸς μὲν εἶναι προαιρεῖται, οὐ μὴν πάντῃ ἐπιτυγχάνει τούτου· ἀδιάρθρωτος γάρ ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς σχήμασι καὶ ἀδιευκρίνητος καὶ τὰ πολλὰ ἐπισυνάπτει τε καὶ περιβάλλει ἀτάκτως διὰ τὸ ταῖς ἐπεμβολαῖς χωρὶς εὐκρινείας χρῆσθαι· ὅθεν ἔδοξέ τισι φλύαρος καὶ ἄλλως ἀσαφὴς εἶναι. ἐπιμελείας δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ κόσμου πάνυ βραχὺ μέτεστι γοργότητός τε ὡσαύτως. καὶ μέντοι καὶ τῆς κατὰ μέθοδον δεινότητος ὀλίγον, ἀλλὰ καὶ σφόδρα ὀλίγον ἔχει, τῆς δʼ ἄλλης σχεδὸν οὐδʼ ὅλως.
