Below are articles from the following 2 dictionaries:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g4246 Greek: presbutes

Aged:

"an elderly man," is a longer form of presbus, the comparative degree of which is presbuteros, "a senior, elder," both of which, as also the verb presbeuo, "to be elder, to be an ambassador," are derived from proeisbaino, "to be far advanced." The noun is found in Luk 1:18, "an old man;" Tts 2:2, "aged men," and Phm 1:9, where the RV marg., "Paul an ambassador," is to be accepted, the original almost certainly being presbeutes (not presbutes), "an ambassador." So he describes himself in Eph 6:20. As Lightfoot points out, he is hardly likely to have made his age a ground of appeal to Philemon, who, if he was the father of Archippus, cannot have been much younger than Paul himself.
See OLD.

A-2 Noun Strong's Number: g4247 Greek: presbutis

Aged:

the feminine of No. 1, "an aged woman," is found in Tts 2:3.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g1095 Greek: gerasko

Aged:

from geras, "old age," signifies "to grow old," Jhn 21:18 ("when thou shalt be old") and Hbr 8:13 (RV, "that which... waxeth aged," AV, "old").
See OLD.
