  1. Guillermo Carvajal writes Michael Schumann analyzed a Linear A libation table from Mount Juktas, IO Za 2, preserving a Minoan ritual formula. The text invokes the Father of the Bull Contest of Dikte, calls for lamentation and libation, and names the sanctuary of Tinu and Ida-Mate, linked to archaic Dionysus and Demeter. The find connects the Juktas cult with Dikte and suggests continuity from Minoan to later Greek religion.

    - Small dark green serpentinite table with central depression.
    - Found by Karetsou in 1970s-1980s near a monumental altar with votive deposits.
    - Schumann revises signs A301 and AB013 to ZA for a coherent reading.
    - Catalogued as HM L3557, archaic paleography in Neopalatial deposition.
