Greek text · Dindorf 4:330

ἀλλʼ οὐδὲ μνήμην τινὰ οὐδὲ ἔννοιαν “οὔτε ἡ ἐπιστολὴ τῆς Ἀποκαλύψεως ἔχει ἐῶ γὰρ τὸ “εὐαγγέλιον), οὔτε τῆς ἐπιστολῆς ἡ Ἀποκάλυψις, “Παύλου διὰ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν ὑποφήναντός τι καὶ “περὶ τῶν ἀποκαλύψεων αὐτοῦ, ἃς οὐκ ἐνέγραψε “καθʼ αὑτάς.

English · Claude translation

Nor does the letter (I leave aside the Gospel) contain any mention or thought of the Apocalypse, nor the Apocalypse of the letter; whereas Paul in his letters gave some indication even about his revelations, which he did not write down separately.
