Διός: i. e. Ormuzd (i. 131 n.). Xenophon, in a description of the train of Cyrus (Cyrop. viii. 3. 9 f.), adds a chariot of the Sun (Mithra) and another sacred to the element of Fire. These may be the customs of a century later.

παρεβεβήκεε, ‘stood by his side’ (cf. i. 181. 3). Of the charioteer here and Il. xi. 522Ἕκτορι παρβεβαώς”, but usually of the combatant (παραβάτης), e.g. Il. xi. 104.
