epikataratos marks a person placed under the stated curse in the law-related declarations of Galatians 3.

The two occurrences present the adjective in declarations identifying someone as under a curse: one who fails to do all written in the Book of the Law and one who is hanged on a tree.

    In Galatians 3:10, the nominative singular masculine form stands in the declaration concerning everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law. In Galatians 3:13, the same form occurs in the declaration concerning everyone who is hanged on a tree; the APB renders both declarations with “Cursed.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both cited declarations with “Cursed,” while also describing people as under or redeemed from “the curse.” These surrounding expressions do not isolate every contribution of the adjective.
