What is the capital of Tunisia?

Correctness of “je ne connais (pas) personne”

Surtout pas! il y aurait une double négation avec “personne”.

Pas personne is not grammatical.

Should you want to add pas after connais, you would need to add de or une too:

Je ne connais pas de personne qui sache lire le latin.

Je ne connais pas une personne qui sache lire le latin.

This form works too:

Je ne connais aucune personne qui sache lire le latin.

In these three sentences, personne is no more a pronoun but a substantive, so they are not cases of double negation.

You can however say:

Je ne connais pas quelqu’un qui sache lire le latin.
