* he made.
We learn from Herodotus and Athen(9175)s, that the Persian
monarchs were accustomed to give their wives distinct cities
and provinces for the purpose of supplying them with different
articles of dress: one was assigned for ornamenting the head
and neck; another provided robes, zones, etc.; and the city of
Anthilla was given to a Persian queen, we read, to supply her
with shoes and sandals. It is probable, therefore, that, at
the desire of Esther, Ahasuerus relieved those cities and
provinces that had before paid it, from this expense.
* release. Heb. rest. gave gifts.
