Does anyone know if there is a translation of the UDHR into some ancient languages besides Latin? Namely Ancient Greek and Sanskrit.

I was just looking, and I couldn't find an Ancient Greek version, but there was a version in Sanskrit:

Yes, I know about Latin. But I'm specifically looking for an Ancient Greek translation. There is a polytonic Greek translation, but that I think is in modern Greek, for which I'm not interested at all.

Here is the first article in Sanskrit.
Sarvē mānavāḥ svatantratāḥ samutpannāḥ vartantē api ca, gauravadr̥śā adhikāradr̥śā ca samānāḥ ēva vartantē. Ētē sarvē cētanā-tarka-śaktibhyāṁ susampannāḥ santi. Api ca, sarvē’pi bandhutva-bhāvanayā parasparaṁ vyavaharantu.
Or you could look here, where there is also a recording.
