γνῶθι σεαυτόν gnōthi, [pr: 'Oonuothi seauton gnothi', roughly]
or just γνῶθι σαυτόν (without 'gnothi', as in gnosis or knowledge) seems to be the contracted form.

I'm no classicist and I've never studied Greek. I do know a few people who have, and they tend to go into linguistic-analytical jobs - proof-readers and so on. Or, like many people, just float about being doing jobs which don't compliment their actual intelligence.
