(G5924) Synonyms for Old: palaios (παλαιός G3820), archaios (ἀρχαῖος G744).

According to their derivation, (παλαιός G3820) palaios is that which has been in existence for a long time, archaios that which has been from the beginning. In use, at times no distinction can be drawn. Often, however, archaios does denote distinctively that which has been from the beginning, and so it reaches back to a point of time beyond palaios. palaios has often the secondary meaning of that which is old and so worn out, having suffered more or less from the injuries and ravages of time, its opposite in this sense being kainos.
