Almost all dimensions in LilyPond are expressed in units of a staff
space, i.e. the
space between two adjacent staff lines. If you use the default 20pt
staff size, this
means that the staff space is 5pt. If you make a simple test, you can
easily verify
that this holds also for the argument to \epsfile.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the units are Adobe
Postscript points. There are 72 of them per inch.
(Traditional printer points don't fit evenly in an inch; Adobe rounded
them.)

Hi, I have successfully embedded an .eps file in lilypond output, but i
am sizing it more or less by eyeball because i don't know what the units
are for second (size) argument. The manual (2.10) just says:
,----
| \epsfile axis (number) size (number) file-name (string)
| Inline an EPS image. The image is scaled along axis to size. `----
I don't know anything really about .eps format. Are the units for size
just something everyone knows?
