ράριον

A. of Rarus, where tillage was first practised, and which was sacred to Demeter, Paus. 1.38.6, St.Byz.; (without πεδίον) ράριον, τό, h.Cer. 450; ραρία, ἡ (sc. γῆ), Plu. 2.144b; whence the goddess was herself called ραριάς, ἡ, St.Byz. [α is long, h.Cer. l.c., so that the accent is prob. not ράρος, as in most codd.:—for the smooth breathing, v. Hdn.Gr.2.402, 940.]
