Philosopher who studied under Socrates (5)

I believe the answer is:

plato

(Other definitions for plato that I've seen before include "Teacher of Aristotle, pupil of Socrates" , "Moon crater named after Greek philosopher" , "Greek philosopher, disciple of Aristotle" , "Greek philosopher (The Republic)" , "Republic author" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
