Open translation for this passage
ἵστησιν οὖν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀγγείων, ἐν οἷς ὅ τε ἄργυρος ἐνῆν καὶ ὁ χρυσός οἱ, πάγας ἤ τι καὶ ἄλλο ὃ τὸν ἐσελθόντα καὶ ἁπτόμενον τῶν χρημάτων καθέξειν ἔμελλεν.
The main verb ἵστησιν takes πάγας as its object; the relative clause headed by ὃ describes the trap, with ἔμελλεν governing the infinitive καθέξειν. The phrase ὅ τε ἄργυρος ... καὶ ὁ χρυσός is coordinated, and οἱ is a dative possessor with χρυσός (and semantically also ἄργυρος).
