τοῦ ἅρματος
the chariot
Here and in 8:29 and 8:38, the term chariot probably means something like “carriage.” Chariots were vehicles for war, not for long-distance travel, and people stood to ride in chariots, while this man was seated. Alternate translation, as in UST: [his carriage]

Luke is using the phrase the prophet Isaiah to mean the prophecies that Isaiah spoke and recorded. Alternate translation: [he was reading from the book of Isaiah]

Since Philip was able to hear what the man was reading, as 8:30 explains, the implication is that the man was reading aloud. Alternate translation: [he was reading aloud from]

OET (OET-RV) and was returning home in his chariot. As he rode, he was reading the scroll of the prophet Yeshayah (Isaiah),
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
