Thladiae and thlibiae are derived from words for crushing or abrading, so those words are standing in for the man-made eunuch.

Jesus' criticism of Mammon--the money and wealth stored at the bankers' tables or in creditors' storehouses or in the imperial treasury--resonated with the concerns of other contemporary Palestinian documents focused especially upon the elites of Judea.
