What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?

Greece

The 10th Article of the 1844 Greek Constitution cedes the right to free verbal and written expression. Notably, it restricts access to the position of newspaper editor to only Greek citizens. This designation is not changed until the 1975 Constitution of Greece designates free expression in Article 14, except in the cases of attempts to overthrow the government, criticize the President, or make offensive remarks against Christianity or another religion.
