STRONGS NT 2616a: κατάθεμακατάθεμα, καταθεματος, τό, equivalent to κατανάθεμα(which see), of which it seems to be a vulgar corruption by syncope (cf. Koumanoudes, συναγωγή λέξεων ἀθησαυρων κτλ., under the word κατας); a curse; by metonymy, worthy of execration, an accursed thing: Rev 22:3 (Rec. κατανάθεμα; cf. Justin Martyr, quaest. et resp. 121, at the end; ’Teaching’ 16, 5 [ET]). Not found in secular authors.
