Are there Latin- or Greek-derived words for base 64 and base 256?


Didn't see one but using that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix and trying to find some logic (which isn't clear)

base-64 would be something like quattuorsexagesimal

base-256 would be something like hexaquinquagintiducentesimal
