Exegesis
The hoti clause {ὅτι πολλάκις συνήχθη Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖ μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ | ho-ti pol-la-kis sy-nē-chthē Iē-soūs e-kei me-ta tōn ma-thē-tōn au-tou} explains why Judas knew the place.
Although synēchthē {συνήχθη | sy-nē-chthē} is aorist passive, the presence of pollakis {πολλάκις | pol-la-kis} gives it customary force, so English naturally renders the action as repeated meeting or assembling rather than a single event.
In context — John 18:2
Now Judas, the one handing Him over, knew that location as well, because Jesus often assembled there with His disciples .
