     * 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.
