Scirum or Skiron ( grc, Σκίρον) or Skira (Σκίρα)
was a small place in
ancient Attica near a torrent of the same name, just outside the
Athenian walls on the
Sacred Way. It was not a
demus, and derived its name from
Scirus, a prophet of
Dodona, who fell in the battle between the
Eleusinii and
Erechtheus, and was buried in this spot.

Scirum's site is unlocated.]
