Commentary for Berakhot 84:13

כי נח נפשיה דרב אזלו תלמידיו בתריה כי הדרי אמרי ניזיל וניכול לחמא אנהר דנק בתר דכרכי יתבי וקא מיבעיא להו הסבו דוקא תנן אבל ישבו לא או דילמא כיון דאמרי ניזיל וניכול ריפתא בדוכתא פלניתא כי הסבו דמי לא הוה בידייהו

When Rab died, his disciples followed his cortege. On their return they said, "Let us go and have our meal by the River Danak." After they had eaten, they sat on and the question was asked : Does our Mishnah intend that only when they recline [does one say the benediction for all] and not if they sit ; or is it perhaps that where people say, "Let us go and eat our meal in a certain place" this is to be regarded the same as reclining? They were unable [to answer the question].
