Socrates' final request is textually noted in Plato's Apology, which is the speech Socrates delivers to defend himself against legal accusations and eventually the speech he gives after his guilty verdict is delivered and he is condemned to life.
Socrates concludes his Apology with the claim that he bears no grudge against those who accused and condemned him, and asks them to look after his three sons as they grow up, ensuring that they put goodness before selfish interests.
