Exegesis
The private setting is signaled by the prepositional phrase par heautō {παρʼ ἑαυτῷ | par heautō} 'beside himself', while the imperative tithētō {τιθέτω | tithétō} 'let him put' issues a continuing command, further defined by the participle thēsaurizōn {θησαυρίζων | thēsaurízōn} 'storing up', which conveys ongoing, cumulative action.
