Passage 3.2.4
τοὺς δὲ ἐφεξῆς βασιλεύσαντας τῆς οἰκίας ταύτης Δόρυσσον τὸν Λαβώτα καὶ Ἀγησίλαον Δορύσσου διʼ ὀλίγου σφᾶς τὸ χρεὼν ἐπέλαβεν ἀμφοτέρους. ἔθηκε δὲ καὶ Λυκοῦργος Λακεδαιμονίοις τοὺς νόμους ἐπὶ τῆς Ἀγησιλάου βασιλείας· θεῖναι δὲ αὐτὸν λέγουσιν οἱ μὲν παρὰ τῆς Πυθίας διδαχθέντα ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν, οἱ δὲ ὡς Κρητικὰ ὄντα νόμιμα ἐπαγάγοιτο. τούτους δὲ οἱ Κρῆτες τοὺς νόμους τεθῆναί σφισιν ὑπὸ Μίνω λέγουσι, βουλεύσασθαι δὲ ὑπὲρ τῶν νόμων οὐκ ἄνευ θεοῦ τὸν Μίνω. ᾐνίξατο δὲ καὶ Ὅμηρος ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν περὶ τοῦ Μίνω τῆς νομοθεσίας ἐν τοῖσδε τοῖς ἔπεσι· τῇσι δʼ ἐνὶ Κνωσσός, μεγάλη πόλις, ἔνθα τε Μίνως ἐννέωρος βασίλευε Διὸς μεγάλου ὀαριστής. Hom. Od. 19.178
The next kings of this house after him, Doryssus son of Labotas and Agesilaus son of Doryssus, soon had their destinies catch up with them both. It was during the reign of Agesilaus that Lycurgus established for the Lacedaemonians their laws; some say he enacted these laws after consultation at Delphi with the Pythian Oracle, while others claim that he simply introduced legislation borrowed from Crete. The Cretans assert that these laws were originally established for them by Minos, who did not devise them without divine guidance. Homer too, it seems to me, alluded in poetic form to Minos' role as legislator in the following verses: "In it is Cnossus, a great city, where Minos ruled as king, who conversed as a friend with mighty Zeus, every ninth year." (Homer, Odyssey 19.178)
