I've honestly never understood why anyone would write out the Peshitta out in square script like a strange square-script-"garshuni." It's a huge and glaring anachronism.
There is but one example of Syriac transcribed into square script this way "in the wild" and it's from a 12th century translator's scratch pad as he was trying to translate a Syriac medical text into late Jewish Aramaic.
