a kind of owl
nominantur ab Homero scopes, avium genus: neque harum satyricos motus, cum insidientur, plerisque memoratos facile conceperim mente, neque ipsae iam aves noscuntur. quamobrem de confessis disseruisse praestiterit.1938 translation by H. Rackham Homer mentions a kind of bird called the scops; many people speak of its comic dancing movements when it is watching for its prey, but I cannot easily grasp these in my mind, nor are the birds themselves now known. Consequently a discussion of admitted facts will be more profitable.77 CE – 79 CE, Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia 10.138.1

scōpes, um, f., = σκῶπες,

I. a kind of owl, Plin. 10, 49, 70, § 138; from Hom. Od. 5, 66.

Borrowed from Ancient Greek σκῶπες (skôpes), plural of σκώψ (skṓps).
