 Some other clans of the Banu Tayy remained pagan, worshiping the deities of Ruda and al-Fils.Those who converted to Christianity apparently embraced their new faith zealously and produced two well-known priests, named in Syriac sources as Abraham and Daniel.Sometime during the 6th century, the Tayy and the Asad formed a confederation, which was later joined by the Banu Ghatafan as well.
