Exĕdra

（ἐξέδρα). An alcove, or semi-circular extension of the colonnade in a Greek gymnasium. It was furnished with seats on which the philosophers usually sat to talk with their disciples (Cic. N. D. i. 6). In private houses the exedra was a room intended for conversation, fitted with a bench running around the wall. See Gymnasium.
