Korone grece cornix.
Apparatus:
cornix AC ef | carnix B {misprint}
Translation:
Korone is Greek for Latin cornix {"crow"}.
Commentary:
κορώνη /korṓnē/ "a sea-bird, possibly shearwater". 2. "crow, including the hooded crow Corvus cornix and prob. also the rook, C. corone" (LSJ).
Latin cornix and Greek κορώνη /korṓnē/ as corone have survived into zoological Latin.
