[INDOLOGY] Brahmi in a Babylonian Inscription??

[Jonathan Silk]

Dear Colleagues,

I have been asked about an article:

  A Line of Brāhmī (?) Script in a Babylonian Contract Tablet

 G. V. Bobrinskoy

 Journal of the American Oriental Society, Vol. 56, No. 1 (Mar., 1936), pp.
86-88
  I am very far from being a specialist in Brahmi, but I'm not convinced.
But I couldn't see that anyone has responded to this article... ever. The
date of the tablet is pre-Aśokan, which only makes me more suspicious,
but...
(A quick look through von Hinüber's book on early writing did not show up
any reference, nor is there reference in Salomon's inscriptions book).
