Exegesis
The phrase ta dora auton {τὰ δῶρα αὐτῶν | tà dôra autôn} specifies what is being placed and the possessors, while plousious {πλουσίους | ploúsious} characterizes the givers by their wealth. English renders the participial construction as a finite clause for readability while preserving the emphasis on the social status of the subjects.
