Translation

[Used] with a genitive. [Meaning] to miss.¹
For a)moire/w ["I have no part"] [means] I do not share.²
Also [sc. attested is the cognate adjective] a)/moiroi, [meaning those who are] share-less or ill-fated.³
"That he lives out horribly a horrible a)/moiros life." Meaning ill-fated or partaking in nothing that is customary, but cast out unburied.⁴

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀμοιρῆσαι· γενικῇ. ἀποτυχεῖν. Ἀμοιρῶ γὰρ τὸ οὐ μετέχω. καὶ Ἄμοιροι, ἀμέτοχοι ἢ κακόμοιροι. κακὸν κακῶς νιν ἄμοιρον ἐκτρίψαι βίον. ἀντὶ τοῦ κακόμοιρον ἢ μηδενὸς τῶν νενομισμένων μετειληφότα, ἀλλ' ἄταφον ἐκβληθῆναι.

Notes (3)

[1] The headword is aorist infinitive of a)moire/w, with same substantive glossing in other lexica. It must be quoted from somewhere; there are numerous possibilities.
2cf. eta 364. ↩
3This nominative plural is similarly glossed in Photius; again, evidently quoted from somewhere. ↩
