Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κατάθεμα [page 326]
κατάθεμα is confined in Biblical Greek to Rev_22:3 , but cf. the difficult Didache xvi. 5 οἱ δὲ ὑπομείναντες ἐν τῇ πίστει αὐτῶν σωθήσονται ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταθέματος . It is apparently a stronger form of ἀνάθεμα (cf. Zec_14:11 and for the form SH on Rom_9:3 ), and in Rev l.c. refers to the object on which a ban is laid, an accursed thing. No instance of the word has yet been cited from profane writings, but see what is Stated s.v. ἀνάθεμα .
