Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
an architectural term describing the porticos or verandas which are not uncommon in eastern houses. It is doubtful, however, whether the Hebrew words so translated have any reference to such an object. (According to the latest researches, the colonnade or else wainscoting is meant. (Song of Solomon 1:17; Ezekiel 41:15)—Schaff.)
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
GAL'LERY a veranda common in Eastern houses. But the word in the A.V. is not a correct translation of the Hebrew, which means, according to the latest researches, the colonnade or else wainscoting. Song 1:17; Zeph 41:15.
