 If we take \(T\) as Prior did, to stand for the sentential operator “It is said by a Cretan that”, then we may read the theorem as the claim that if it is said by a Cretan that whatever is said by a Cretan is not the case, then there are at least two things said by a Cretan. So, quite unexpectedly, we learn that it is inconsistent to assume that the only thing said by a Cretan is that nothing a Cretan says is the case.
