Based on the typology and quality of metal in his coins, Ioel's reign has been dated firmly after the reign of Kaleb, although authorities differ exactly what order he ruled: Stuart Munro-Hay first dated his reign between Alla Amidas and Wazena, but later between WʽZB and Hataz; while Wolfgang Hahn and Vincent West place him between Gersem and Hataz.
