The Egyptians knew the Minoans as the Keftiu.  Among the items that the Keftiu brought as tribute were rhyta, “vessel[s] especially perforated at the bottom–or other place–for the pouring of libations” [Davares 1976:270]. While the Greeks may have poured libations from the bottom on smaller vessels, I believe that the holes on the larger vessels were intended to allow the sediment to drain.  Cf. alt. je.
