Between Mincha and Ma’ariv
Between the Mincha (afternoon) prayer and the Ma’ariv (evening) prayer. Figuratively: during the early evening hours.
(“It implies that they would eat on Shabbat close to nightfall, and it is puzzling that they were not accustomed to eat between Mincha and Ma’ariv” — Tosafot, Tractate Pesachim 105a.)
