"He recorded his message on a piece of pottery that was discovered by archaeologists in 1965. Over the years, biblical scholars and researchers have examined the front side of the pottery fragment that was inscribed with ink. This pottery fragment is often called an ostracon, which can be used to record receipts, lists, or even letters."

Currently, thanks to multispectral scanning technology, researchers have managed to uncover three lines of hidden sentences in the message on the ancient pottery. The message reads: "If there is still wine, send it." According to a report from The New York Times, archaeologists have published their findings in the journal PLoS One.

Researchers use scanning technology to uncover four additional sentences on the front fragment of the pottery. These sentences also discuss the matter of silver and oil between the two individuals. The ostracon was found at the location that was previously the Fortress of Arad, a military post in the desert that was part of the Kingdom of Judah. In 586 BC, the kingdom was destroyed by the Babylonian forces led by King Nebuchadnezzar.
