Brill's New Pauly: "Androtion, From Athens, author of an Athenian local history, student of Isocrates. As the only one among the
Atthidographers also politically active: he began his career in 387 BC (T 3), occupied a military commanding role in the Social War (T 7) and was in 355/4
a member of a delegation to Mausolus, which was to clear the way for the Persian war (T 8). As a moderate democrat already in 355/4 and 353/2 fought by
Demosthenes (or. 22 bzw. 24), he was finally banned to Megara in 343/2 (T 14)....There arose his Atthis, which in eight books reaches back to the mythic
beginnings and spans time until at least 344/3 and primarily focuses on contemporary history..."
