Esther (Greek) 9:17

¹⁵And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth day of Adar, and slew three hundred men, but plundered no property.

¹⁶And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth day of Adar, but took no spoil.

— Esther (Greek) 9:17 —

¹⁸And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.

¹⁹On this account then it is that the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar as a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbor.
