Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Opening their treasures (anoicantev touv qhsaurouv autwn). Here "treasures" means "caskets" from the verb (tiqhmi), receptacle for valuables. In the ancient writers it meant "treasury" as in 1Macc. 3:29. So a "storehouse" as in Matthew 13:52. Then it means the things laid up in store, treasure in heaven (Matthew 6:20), in Christ (Colossians 2:3). In their "caskets" the Magi had gold, frankincense, and myrrh, all found at that time in Arabia, though gold was found in Babylon and elsewhere.
