The Xerias, (Greek: Ξεριάς, from ξερός, "dry") is an arroyo in the Argolid in Greece. Its ancient name was Charadros (Χάραδρος),[1] which is still used, although its Demotic name is by far the most common and used on modern maps. [a] Under its ancient name, it is described in Pausanias's Description of Greece (2.25.2).
