Can you read Greek? If not, there's translation for this. If you don't trust the translations, I can't do anything. I'll cobble together a few things for general discussion on the topic that are in English. I'll have to revisit this at another point to provide more references, as these make heavy allusion but don't give me precisely what I'm looking for. It'll be a work in progress.

Below is translation of Plato's Laws, Book 1. This entire dialogue is an interesting read that discusses Crete in part. This isn't separated easily by paragraphs, but reading the entirety of it provides better context.

Aristotle regarding Crete, particularly a somewhat vague account of the legislator's methods of separation of men and women to reduce the amount of children had, and seeking "companionship" from other men instead. Part X, paragraph 3. He tends to reference Plato's Laws.
