[203b]
Socrates
Come now, in the same manner give me the explanation of the S.Theaetetus
How can one give any elements of an element? For really, Socrates, the S is a voiceless letter,1 a mere noise, as of the tongue hissing; B again has neither voice nor noise, nor have most of the other letters; and so it is quite right to say that they have no explanation, seeing that the most distinct of them, the seven vowels, have only voice, but no explanation whatsoever.Socrates

I think we have.
