Abstract We construct (2,3)(2,3) -generators for the finite 8-dimensional orthogonal groups, proving the following results: the groups Ω8+(q)Omega_{8}^{+}(q) and PΩ8+(q)mathrm{P}Omega_{8}^{+}(q) are (2,3)(2,3) -generated if and only if q≥4qgeq 4 ; the groups Ω8-(q)Omega_{8}^{-}(q) and PΩ8-(q)mathrm{P}Omega_{8}^{-}(q) are (2,3)(2,3) -generated for all q≥2qgeq 2 .
