Gegi is known from his false door and six statues. They were found at Saqqara and entered the Egyptian Museum in 1884 where they are still housed.<ref>False doorː CG 1455, the statuesː CG 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75</ref> They must come from his tomb.

He was therefore nomarch of the province. Gegi was also overseer of priests of Onuris.<ref>Brovarski (2018)ː ''Naga ed-Dêr in the First Intermediate Period'', pp. 83-86</ref> The latter god was the main deity at Thinis.
