Reign

Immeya was most likely buried in the so-called "Tomb of the Lord of the Goats", in the royal necropolis of the western palace at Ebla,^{[1]: 301–4} as suggested by a silver cup found here, bearing an inscription in his name.^{[1]: 217–8} Likewise the other grave goods in the tomb probably also belonged to Immeya. Comprising some objects in carved hippopotamus ivory,^{[1]: 301–4} the remains of a throne decorated with bronze goat heads,^[1]: 338 and especially an ancient Egyptian ceremonial mace made of gold, silver and ivory, a gift from the 13th Dynasty pharaoh Hotepibre, who was a contemporary of Immeya.^{[1]: 217–8 : 301–4}

Immeya also appears as the sender of a letter to a ruler, which was also found at Ebla.^{[1]: 217–8} One of his successors—not necessarily the direct one—was a certain king Hammu[...], whose full name was probably Hammurabi.^{[1]: 217–8}

As with other rulers of the third kingdom of Ebla, Immeya's name is Amorite; furthermore, it seems that "Immeya" was a hypocorism.^{[1]: 217–8}
