COPIS

COPIS(κοπίς), a curved sword, like a falx, and therefore a kind of scimitar (Xen. Eq. 12.1. 1: copidas vocabant gladios leviter curvatos, falcibus similes, Curt. 8.14.29). It was used by the Thessalians (Eur. Elect. 837) and by the eastern nations (Xen. Cyr. 2.1, § 9, 6.2.10; Curt. l. c.).

Copis was also the name of a knife used in cutting the flesh of animals in sacrifices and the kitchen (Poll. 10.104; Athen. 4. p. 169 b; Plut. Lyc. 2). It is used as an adjective with μάχαιρα by Euripides (Eur. Cycl. 241).
