Translation:
Korax is Greek for Latin corvus {"a raven"} that is very old.
Commentary:
Greek κόραξ /kórax/ means "raven", Corvus corax" but does not imply that the bird is old.
The Greek κόραξ /kórax/ and Latin corvus are onomatopoeic, "kor-kor" being an imitation of the bird’s call. English "raven", German "Rabe" are also ultimately etymologically related to κόραξ /kórax/, corvus.
The Latin and the Greek words for the bird have survived into zoological Latin.
