in Ancient Geography, a town of the Regni, a people in Britain, next the Cantii, now Surrey, Sussex, and the coast of Hampshire, (Camden); a town situated, by the Itinerary numbers, on the confines of the Belgae, in a place now called Ringwood, in Hampshire, on the rivulet Avon, running down from Salisbury, and about ten miles or more distant from the sea.

REGATOR, signifies him who buys and sells any wares or victuals in the same market or fair; and regraters are particularly described to be those who buy, or get into their hands, in fairs or markets, any grain, fish, butter, cheese, sheep, lambs, calves, wine, pigs, geese, capons, hens, chickens, pigeons, conies, or other dead victuals whatsoever, brought to a fair or market to be sold there, and do sell the same again in the same fair, market, or place, or in some other within four miles thereof.

Regrating is a kind of huckstrey, by which victuals are made dearer; for every seller will gain something, which must of consequence enhance the price. And, in ancient times, both the engroffer and regrator were comprehended under the word foretaller. Regrators are punishable by loss and forfeiture of goods, and imprisonment, according to the first, second, or third offence, &c.
