Those who fell below kissed it, and opened the "Banks" of themselves
And those who have come into the House perceived the Little Child in company with Bitter-Rebel, the Mother of himself, and those who have fallen kissed to himself. And those who have opened the treasure-storehouses of themselves offered to himself presents/bribes, gold and frankincense and myrrh.8b
The Greek verb χρηματίζω (chrēmatizō) is a term derived from χρῆμα (chrēma, meaning "thing," "property," or "money"). Its primary meaning relates to conducting business, deliberating, or negotiating.
The passive χρηματίζομαι would be understood as "is engaged in business" or "is involved in financial transactions.""Divinely warned" is an interpretation of an extended meaning of "given a response by an oracle" as seen in Plutarch's "De Defectu Oraculorum" (On the Decline of the Oracles 2.435c). Since the Magi were not consulting an oracle, it was not a response from an oracle. This sense of "divinely warned" is thus considered a "specialized" meaning found only in the New Testament. It was never used in such a sense otherwise. Ultimately, tradition usurped definition.
And having come into the house, they found the young child with Mary his mother, and having fallen, they worshipped him; and having opened their treasures they brought forward to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
And having come into the house, they saw the child with His mother Mary. And falling down, they worshiped Him. And opening their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold and frankincense and myrrh.
And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Footnotes
8b | "Merry Christmas" The magicians and traders are in the (Treasure) House, buying and selling, trafficking people, symbolized in the gold, frankincense, and myrhh. "Don't treasure up for yourselves treasure-storehouses on the Earth..." (Matt. 6:19 RBT) Strong's #G2344, θησαυρός (thēsaurós): Originally meaning a "strong-room" or "magazine" (Hdt. 2.150; SIG 419.17 [Delphi, 3rd century BCE]; LXX Deut. 32:34), the term also denoted a "store" or "treasure" (Ar. Av. 599). It was especially used for the treasuries constructed at Delphi by various Greek city-states (e.g., SIG 8 [6th century BCE]; Hdt. 1.14; Xen. Anab. 5.3.5; Strabo 4.1.13) and metaphorically applied to natural resources, such as the silver mines at Laureion (θησαυρός χθονός, Aesch. Pers. 238 [troch.]). It also referred to bank vaults in later periods (e.g., PLips. 62ii 14 [4th century CE]).
