vagas: not proleptic, but a poetic oxymoron with domos. Cf. Pind fr. 105, ἁμαξοφόρητον οἶκον; Arnold, Strayed Reveller, 'They see the Scythian| On the wide steppe, unharnessing| His wheel'd house at noon'; Sen. Herc. Fur. 537, intravit (Hercules) Scythiae multivagas domos. Cf. also Aesch. Prom. 709; Milton, P. L. 3, 'the barren plains |Of Sericana where Chineses drive| With sails and wind their cany waggons light.' rite: after their manner (Verg. Aen. 9.252).
