Exegesis
The aorist imperative dós {δός | dós} ‘give’ governs the dative pronoun moi {μοι | moi} ‘to me’, and the object is the articular participial phrase tò epibállon méros {τὸ ἐπιβάλλον μέρος | tò e-pi-bál-lon mé-ros} ‘the portion that is coming’, with epibállon functioning adjectivally.
In context — Luke 15:12
And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the portion of the estate that is coming to me.” Then he divided his livelihood among them.
