Last time I saw him Pliny assured me it was.
I found the variant raphius
'... ostenderunt chaum, quem Galli raphium vocant'
www.uni-mannheim. de/mateo/ camenaref/ gesner/gesner1/ v1/books/ gesnerthesaurus1 _3.xml
my browser can't handle it; the text is from the google short summary;
similarly 'rhaphius' here:

None of the variants occur in Ernout-Meillet.
