Exegesis
The main verb eiden {εἶδεν | eîden} ‘He saw’ establishes the perceptual focus and takes as its object the articular participle tous ballontas {τοὺς βάλλοντας | toùs bállontas} ‘the ones putting,’ which foregrounds the action of depositors.
In context — Luke 21:1
And having looked up, He saw the rich placing their gifts into the treasury.
