Exegesis
Within the speech, Anathemati {Ἀναθέματι | Anathémati} followed immediately by anethematísamen {ἀνεθεματίσαμεν | anethematísamen} creates a compact, emphatic structure (“with a curse we have placed under a curse”), whose repetition of the same root intensifies the seriousness of their self-imposed ban.
In context — Acts 23:14
Those who had approached the chief priests and the elders said, “With a curse we have bound ourselves not to taste anything until we have killed Paul.”
