We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an ordered
eventually regular semigroup to be a Dubreil-Jacotin semigroup.
We show that an eventually regular Dubreil-Jacotin semigroup
has a biggest idempotent. Necessary and sufficient conditions
for this biggest idempotent to be a weak middle unit or to be medial
are related to the semigroup being naturally ordered and to the set
of regular elements being a subsemigroup.
