This dataset offers a multilingual corpus for studying Persian translations of Plato’s Crito in comparison with the Ancient Greek source text. It is designed for scholars and students working in fields such as translation studies, computational linguistics, and philology. This repository includes: The Ancient Greek text of Crito (Burnet edition) Five Persian student translations, word-level and sentence-level alignments Three finalized Persian translations, word-level andsentence-level alignments, including UD treebank annotations Two English translations (Jowett and Fowler), sentence-level aligned One German translation (Schleiermacher), sentence-level aligned A Greek–Persian lexical wordlist for Crito Source Texts & References Greek text: Plato.

Each translation was made using Ancient Greek commentaries, lexicons, and parallel English and German translations available in this dataset. Alignments were created by the translators using Ugarit.These translations are available as word-level and sentence-level alignments. The word alignments are extracted from Ugarit, but they are still visualized on Ugarit.
