Talmud su Ester 4:16
לֵךְ֩ כְּנ֨וֹס אֶת־כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים הַֽנִּמְצְאִ֣ים בְּשׁוּשָׁ֗ן וְצ֣וּמוּ עָ֠לַי וְאַל־תֹּאכְל֨וּ וְאַל־תִּשְׁתּ֜וּ שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ לַ֣יְלָה וָי֔וֹם גַּם־אֲנִ֥י וְנַעֲרֹתַ֖י אָצ֣וּם כֵּ֑ן וּבְכֵ֞ן אָב֤וֹא אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־כַדָּ֔ת וְכַאֲשֶׁ֥ר אָבַ֖דְתִּי אָבָֽדְתִּי׃
Va, raduna tutt'i giudei esistenti in Susa, e digiunate per me, senza mangiare né bere, per tre giorni, dì e notte, ed anch'io colle mie donzelle farò un egual digiuno; e quindi mi presenterò al re, contro la legge; e se perirò, già sono perduta (dovendo perdere tutt'i miei).

[42a] What13From here to Then came Amalek is the reading of GRA. is the procedure on Purim? If Purim falls on a Sabbath, seven read [the section] of the Sabbath while the eighth reads Then came Amalek.14Ex. 17, 8-16. The three fast days15In commemoration of the three days of fasting ordained by Mordecai and Esther (Esth. 4, 16). are not observed on consecutive days but are separated [and observed] on Monday, Thursday and Monday. Our Rabbis in the land of Israel had the custom of fasting after Purim16Not, as others, before it. on account of [the victory over] Nicanor and his associates,17This occurred on the thirteenth of Adar, the day before Purim [cf. 1 Macc. VII, 49; 2 Macc. XV, 36; Josephus, Antiq. XII, x, 5], on account of which fasting was prohibited. Nicanor was a Syrian commander who fell in the Maccabean war in the battle of Adasa in 161 b.c.e. and also because the commemoration of sad events is postponed rather than antedated.
