Front: ἐπαίρει ἑαυτὸν
Back: he lifts himself, gets up
Notes: ἐπαίρει is a compound verb made of two parts: ἐπί + αἴρει
ἐπί is one of the most standard and common prefixes in Greek and it usually means "on," "upon," or "over." When attached to verbs of motion, it often adds the sense of direction (upwards or towards). Greek does not like the "hiccup" created by two vowels hitting each other so the Iota gets dropped (elided).
