"ἠπίαλος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἠπίαλος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɛː.pí.a.los/, /iˈpi.a.los/, /iˈpi.a.los/, /ɛː.pí.a.los/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /e̝ˈpi.a.los/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /iˈpi.a.los/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /iˈpi.a.los/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /iˈpi.a.los/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Strömberg, it is from ἤπιος (ḗpios, “mild, soothing”), so properly "mild fever", which would be a taboo paraphrase; this seems an improbable hypothesis. The word ἠπίολος (ēpíolos, “moth”) should not be separated from this one, as is shown by Lithuanian drugys (“fever; moth”), Albanian ethe (“fever”) with ethëzë (“moth”). Given the variation α/ο, it is probably a Pre-Greek word.
