ravine, narrow steep-sided valley φάραγξ, as ‘a narrow valley,’ differs from ‘a broad valley’ in the sense that one does not expect agriculture to be practiced at the bottom of a φάραγξ, while in the case of a broad valley, agriculture would be an assumed feature.

φάραγξ, “ravine” (Lk 3° LXX). Preisigke (Wort. s.v.) identifies this word with the φάλαγξ of BGU I. 28218 (after a.p. 175) according to the better reading φάλαγξ for Φάλαγξ (see 76. Ρ. 358): cf. 22%. The verb φαραγγόω is found in P Tebt I, 151 (a survey-list—late ii/B.c.) with reference to land ploughed up in furrows—adpotpns πεφαραγγωμένης.
