It's "ごくまれ" also today -- https://nlb.ninjal.ac.jp/headword/V.00004/ lists eight examples (although
two of them are misparsing of あらなくに, an ancient expression involving the ク語法 of あらぬ).

daijr: 現代語では,「ある」の打ち消しの言い方として,「あらない」は用いられず,「ない」の語が用いられる。ただし,近世には,ごくまれに,「せく事はあらない」〈浄瑠璃・心中宵庚申•上〉などの例がみられる
  Comments:
Definitely arch.
Do we actually need this? Even in archaic Japanese, this form was "ごくまれ". None of my refs have an entry for it.

Make gloss prescriptive. Note that ない is both an adj. and a verb suffix
