Succession Xerxes / Artaxerxes (= year 21 of Xerxes) is mentioned just after the siege of Eion (The Histories VII:106-107; The Peloponnesian War I:98,137), which is placed during the archon Phaedon, according to Plutarch (Life of Theseus §§35,36), dated 476/475 BCE.

According to Thucydides: Themistocles manifested a desire to visit the king of Persia (...) The storm caused the vessel to drift towards the camp of the Athenians who then besieged Naxos (...) Accompanied by a Persian coast, then he penetrated into the interior of the country and sent to Artaxerxes, who had succeeded Xerxes, his father a letter (The Peloponnesian War I:98;137). Therefore, he reports the fall of Naxos after the one of Skyros dated of the beginning of the archonship of Phaedo in -476, according to Plutarch (Life of Theseus §§35,36).
