Given the context of the provided examples which include words like ΛΑΟΓΡΑΦΙΑΝ (laographian, meaning 'registration of people' or 'census') and ὈΝΟΜΑΤΟΓΡΑΦΙΑΝ (onomatographian, meaning 'list of names' or 'registration of names'), it is possible that "ΡΑΦΙΑΝ" is a misspelling of a word related to writing, recording, or registration, perhaps a variant or error for something like ΓΡΑΦΙΑΝ (graphian), which would be the accusative singular of ΓΡΑΦΙΑ (graphia), meaning 'writing' or 'record'. However, without further context or clarification, its exact meaning and intended usage remain unknown.
