Acts 16:13 Douay-Rheims

And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

It is thought to mean a place of prayer — a grove by the shore, in which they were wont to assemble. The Jews used to assemble for prayer near the river banks. See Philo in Flacc. Joseph. Antiq. 1. xiv. c. x. § 24.
