170 BCE – 90 BCE, Dionysius Thrax, Art of Grammar 6.On the Sound:
σύμφονα δὲ τὰ λοιπὰ ἑπτακαίδεκα· β γ δ ζ θ κ λ μ ν ξ π ρ σ τ φ χ ψ. σύμφοναι δὲ +λέγονται+, ὅτι αὐτὰ μὲν καθ’ ἑαυτὰ φωνὴν οὐκ ἔχει, συντασσόμενα δὲ μετὰ τῶν φωνηέντων φωνὴν ἀποτελεῖ.
súmphona dè tà loipà heptakaídeka; b g d z th k l m n x p r s t ph kh ps. súmphonai dè +légontai+, hóti autà mèn kath’ heautà phōnḕn ouk ékhei, suntassómena dè metà tôn phōnēéntōn phōnḕn apoteleî.
The remaining seventeen are consonants: b, g, d, z, th, k, l, m, n, x, p, r, s, t, ph, ch, ps. They are called consonants because they do not have a sound on their own, but, when arranged with vowels, they produce a sound.
