"salpe": a type of fish, probably
salpis/salpe/sarpe was the name of a type of fish, and seems to be the only thing related to "Sarpedon" in the known vocabulary of Homeric Greek.

Sarpedon
In Greek mythology, Sarpedon referred to several different people.
1. Son of Zeus and Europa. He was raised by King Asterion and then banished by Minos, his brother, and moved to Lycia, where he lived for three generations. He became one of the judges in the Underworld.
2. Son of Zeus and Laodamia, daughter of Bellerophon, and a Lycian King. He fought on the side of the Trojans during the Trojan War and was killed by Patroclus.

Sarpedon, in Greek mythology, son of Zeus and Laodamia
"Sarpedon, in Greek mythology, son of Zeus and Laodamia, who was the daughter of Bellerophon. In the Iliad, as an ally of the Trojans, Sarpedon courageously led the Lycians against the Greeks in the Trojan War. He was killed by Patroclus, and Zeus had him carried back to Lycia for a hero's burial. According to post-Homeric legend, Sarpedon was the son of Zeus and Europa who, after a quarrel with his brother Minos, fled to Lycia."
