Rashi, on Esth 1:2

“When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom.”

“when King Ahasuerus sat, etc. when the kingdom was firmly established in his hand. Our Sages, however, explained it differently in Tractate Megillah (11b).”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
