The above website calls 10^963 "one trecenvigintillion"

and calls 10^9063 "one tremilliavigintillion"

So if we can trust this website, then my previous corrections stand.
However, whether the system proposed by this website is actually
widely accepted is dubious.

Wikipedia claims that there is no widely accepted naming convention
for numbers beyond centillion (10^303)
