Rashi, on Esth 8:10

“And these letters which were sent in the king’s name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages.”

“by the couriers the horsemen, whom the king commanded to hasten (lit. to run). the camels Heb. הָאֲחַשְּׁתְּרָנִים. a type of camel that runs swiftly.”

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