In the time of Xenophon Gergis is called a strong place; it had an acropolis and strong walls, and was one of the chief towns of the Dardanian princess Mania. King Attalus of Pergamus transplanted the inhabitants of Gergis to a place near the sources of the Caicus, whence we afterwards find a place called Gergetha or Gergithion, near Larissa Phrikonis, in the territory of Cyme. The old town of Gergis was believed by some to have been the birthplace of the Sibyl, whence coins found there have the image of the prophetess impressed upon them. Cephalion (Κεφαλίων) or Cephalon (Κεφάλων) of Gergis was a rhetor and historian during the reign of Hadrian. He left his city because of enmity with its rulers and went to Sicily. He wrote many works in Ionic Greek. Its site is located near , Asiatic Turkey. (en)
  • Gergita o Gergis (en griego; Γέργις, Γεργιθία) era una antigua ciudad de la Tróade. Según Heródoto, los gergitas eran lo que quedaba de los antiguos teucros y fueron sometidos por el persa poco antes de que este muriese de enfermedad.​ El ejército persa bajo el mando de Jerjes, en su marcha a la expedición contra Grecia del año 480 a. C., dejó a la derecha el territorio donde vivían los gergitas teucros, antes de llegar a Abidos.​ Es citada por Jenofonte, donde se menciona que era una ciudad fortificada. El territorio era controlado por Farnabazo, que había designado como sátrapa a y luego, tras la muerte de este, a su mujer, . Pero , yerno de Mania, se apoderó de Gergis y Escepsis, tras asesinar a su suegra. Poco después acudió a la zona un ejército al mando del espartano Dercílidas, que había acudido a Eólida para tratar de liberar las colonias griegas del dominio persa, y ocupó ambas ciudades sin lucha puesto que Midias se había aliado con él.​ Estrabón sitúa la ciudad de Gergita en territorio próximo a Lámpsaco, dice que allí había un lugar llamado Gergitio donde se producía vid y la distingue de otro lugar llamado , cerca de Cime.​ Añade que otro asentamiento llamado Gergita estaba cerca de las fuentes del río Caico y que allí trasladó Atalo I a parte de los gergitas de la Tróade cuando conquistó el lugar.​ Según Tito Livio, las ciudades de Retio y Gergita se unieron en sinecismo con Ilión a consecuencia de la paz de Apamea del año 188 a. C.​ En época de Plinio el Viejo, la ciudad había desaparecido.​ Se conservan monedas de plata y bronce acuñadas por Gergita que se han fechado en los siglos IV y III a. C. donde figura la inscripción «ΓΕΡ».​ Sus restos se localizan en .​ (es)
