Yagli-El is known from four cuneiform inscriptions that were placed on steatite vessels.
All inscriptions bear the same text: Palace of Yagli-El, the servant on Inzak of Akkarum.
[2] The inscriptions do not call Yagli-El king, but the big size of the burial place leaves little doubt about it.
A king (lugal) of Dilmun is mentioned in cuneiform texts.
[4] The style of the cuneiform signs dates this king around 1700 BC.
