Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:408

εἰ δὲ τίς ἐστιν ἀγαθοῦ μνεία, μνημονεύετέ μου μελετῶντες ταῦτα, ἵνα καὶ ἡ ἐπιθυμία καὶ ἡ ἀγρυπνία εἴς τι ἀγαθὸν χωρήσῃ. ἐρωτῶ ὑμᾶς, χάριν αἰτούμενος.

English · Claude translation

And if there is any remembrance of good, remember me as you meditate on these things, so that both my desire and my watchfulness may come to some good. I ask you, begging this as a favor.
