Euthydemus
Socrates's friend who asks about the men he saw him talking with at the Lyceum and to whom Socrates narrates the whole encounter.
Who was it, Socrates, that you were talking with yesterday at the Lyceum?
and he, Socrates, seemed to me to have grown a great deal, so as to look almost the same age as my Critobulus, who is rather puny whereas this boy has come on finely, and has a noble air about him.
Cri. What, Socrates! Are you not afraid, at your time of life, that you may be too old for that now?
Phaedo
A close friend of Socrates present at his death, who manages practical matters including Xanthippe's departure and the poison-administrator's warning.
And Socrates glanced at Crito and said, Crito, let somebody take her home.
I was pretty sure that was what you would say, said Crito, but he has been bothering me for a long time.
Only, Socrates, said Crito, that the man who is to administer the poison to you has been telling me for some time to warn you to talk as little as possible.
Tusculan Disputations
Friend of Socrates who asks about his burial wishes.
For when he had discoursed of the immortality of souls, and the time of dying was already pressing, being asked by Crito how he wished to be buried, he said:
Against Boeotus II
Person whose deposition claims purchase of the speaker's house share, rejected as false.
and now on his own sole authority he testifies that he was present with Crito when he bought the house from me.
Besides all the rest (for this has occurred to me just now), they have come to such a pitch of audacity as to have put in a deposition of Crito, alleging that he has purchased from me my one-third share in the house.
Apology
Friend of Socrates, present in court and one of his sureties for the fine
first Crito here, who is of my own age and my own deme and father of Critobulus, who is also present;
but Plato here, men of Athens, and Crito and Critobulus, and Aristobulus tell me to propose a fine of thirty minas, saying that they are sureties for it.
