<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
Time to work through this logically (CoT):

Step 1: What does the inquiry asking me to do?
Find the number of letter "e" in the text "Xerxes"

Step 2: Dissect the word.
X-E-R-X-E-S


1. X
2. E
3. R
4. X
5. E
6. S

Step 3: Locate the positions of the letter "e".
The letter "e" appears at the 2nd, 5th positions in the word.

Step 4: Sum up the letters.
R: 1, S: 1, E: 2, X: 2

Step 5: Examine the letters we quantified.
The chosen letter was "e" and there we identified 2 altogether.

Result:
The letter "e" occurs 2 instances in "Xerxes", at the 2nd, 5th positions.</thinking>
