Summary/Abstract: This study is dealing with some unclear details in Hdt. VIII, 3-4 concerning the place where Xerxes had left behind the sacred chariot of Zeus during his march against Greece in 480 BC. Traditionally it is accepted that it was left with the Paeones at Siris, which however does not fit grammatically in the text. Accordingly, other possibilities or acceptable explanations should be searched for.
