Pottery shard, known as an ostracon, was on display in an Israeli museum for more than 50 years .

With the aid of multispectral imaging technology, scribblings that were previously invisible to the naked eye were revealed.

Experts from Tel Aviv University in Israel speculate that the text on the back was a continuation of the inscription on the front, which was visible and detailed military finances.

The new inscription, quite unsurprisingly, began with a request for wine.
