Thayer's Expanded Definition

καταβραβεύω, imperative 3 person singular καταβραβευέτω; (properly, βραβεύω to be an umpire in a contest, κατά namely, τίνος, against one); "to decide as umpire against one, to declare him unworthy of the prize; to defraud of the prize of victory": τινα, metaphorically, to deprive of salvation, Colossians 2:18, where cf. Meyer (Lightfoot, especially Field, Otium Norv. Pars iii.). (Eustathius ad Iliad 1, 93, 33 (vss. 402f) καταβραβευει αὐτόν, ὡς φασίν οἱ παλαιοι; but in the earlier Greek writings that have come down to us, it is found only in (pseudo-) dem. adv. middle, p. 544 at the end, where it is used of one who by bribing the judges causes another to be condemned.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This rare verb (Colossians 2:18) is found in a Ptolemaic dispute regarding succession, Preisigke 4512B. .57 (B.C. 167–134) ὅθεν καταβεβραβευμένοι [ . . . . . . . . . . . . ]η ̣ρου συνερι [ο ]υ ἀξιοῦμεν, ἐὰν φαίν [η ]ται, συντάξαι κτλ. See also s.v. βραβεύω, and cf. Vett. Val. p. 344.29 δοκεῖ δὲ καθὼς ὁρῶμεν ἡ γῆ καταβραβεύειν τῶν λοιπῶν ἐπέχουσα αὐτὴ τὰ πάντα ὡς πρόγονος. A certain sense of ";assumption"; and ";officialism"; connected with the word may have led Paul to prefer it to κατακρίνω in Col l.c. : see Field Notes, p. 196 f.
