Φάνιον· τόπος, εἰς ὃν τὰ καθάρματα ἐξέβαλλον.

Betacode

*fa/nion: to/pos, ei)s o(\n ta\ kaqa/rmata e)ce/ballon.

Same entry in Photius and other lexica. The accentuation of the headword, presumably a neuter noun, varies; and whether it is lower- or upper-case (i.e. a named venue called Phanion) is unclear.
For 'refuse' cf. kappa 36.
