Lk 21:1    EIDEN TOUS BALLONTAS EIS TO GAZOFULAKION TA DWRA AUTWN PLOUSIOUS

Is it possible/likely that the article TOUS should be read primarily with
PLOUSIOUS and that the participle BALLONTAS is therefore adverbial (trans:
"he saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury").

Or is that too many intervening words, thus the article modifies the
participle, making it substantival (trans: adjectival "he saw the rich who
were putting their gifts into the treasury")?

thanks,
