Yagli-El is known from four cuneiform inscriptions that were placed on steatite vessels. Three of these vessels were found in a big tomb on Bahrain. It is most likely that this tomb was his burial place. All inscriptions bear the same text: Palace of Yagli-El, the servant on Inzak of Agarum. In one of the inscriptions also Yagli-El's father Riʼmum is mentioned, who was then his predecessor.Marchesi, inː Terp Laursenː The Royal Mounds of A'ali in Bahrain, p. 425
The inscriptions do not call Yagli-El king, but the big size of the burial place leaves little doubt about it.
