This looks strangely like the Old South Arabian scripts (Sabaean, Qatabanian, etc.), although the time and place are all wrong. But anything is possible. It looks genuine, unlike some things that come out of Peshawar.

I will try to run this by a specialist.

Dear Colleagues,
Attached is a photograph of a copper plate found near Peshawar. Exact location of the fund is unknown. I thought this might be of some interested to some of you. If anyone can say more about the contents of the copper plate and its possible date, it’ll be appreciated. 
Regards,
