One of them is Amr bin Lohi, whose real name was Rabia bin Haritha bin Amr Maziqiya. According to scholars of Khaza, he was the chief of the Khaza during the battle between Khaza and Jurham. He had initiated the customs of Saiba, Wasila and Haam. He brought the idols of Hubal and Manat from Syria to Mecca. He entrusted Hubal to Khazima bin Mudrika and that is why it began to be referred to as the Hubal Khazima. Then he placed Manat on Mt. Abu Qubais and he was the first to bring Nard (a dice game) to Mecca, which people played all the time in Kaaba and its vicinity.
ومنهم عمرو بن لحي وهو ربيعة بن حارثة بن عمرو مزيقيا في قول علماء خزاعة كان رئيس خزاعة في حرب خزاعة وجرهم، وهو الذي سن السائبة والوصيلة والحام ونقل صنمين-وهما هبل ومناة- من الشام إلى مكة فوضعهما للعبادة فسلم هبل إلى خزيمة بن مدركة، فقيل هبل خزيمة، وصعد على أبي قبيس ووضع مناة بالمسلل وقدم بالنرد،وهو أول من أدخلها مكة فكانوا يلعبون بها في الكعبة غدوة وعشية.
