A block of his Saqqara tomb show members of the Egyptian government including Horemheb.

Stela BM 972 which shows the High Priest of Ptah Ptahemhat called Ty receiving offerings from his son Hay, a functionary of the temple of Bastet, was found in the cat necropolis of Saqqara. This may mean that his tomb is located in that general area. [1]
