From egyptsites.co.uk: "The large mastaba of Kagemni is situated on the northern side of Teti's pyramid at Saqqara in the block of tombs belonging to the officials of the king's Dynasty VI reign. Kagemni (also called Memi) is named as 'Chief Justice and Vizier, Overseer of the Pyramid town of Teti, Overseer of the Priests of Teti' and was married to a daughter of King Teti, Nebti-nubkhet. This princess, like the wife of Mereruka, was also known as Sesheshet. Although the tomb was first discovered by Karl Lepsius in 1843, it was first excavated by Jacque de Morgan in 1893, then later by Victor Loret between 1897 and 1899 and by Cecil Firth in the 1920s."
