Besides your find, there's the epitaph to Xiāo Páolǔ 萧袍鲁 in which a Large Script text is surrounded by dharanis in Chinese and Sanskrit, and some other Large Script inscriptions, while I'm not aware of any Buddhist references at all in Small Script. But I'm not a specialist, just wrote a term paper!

Ah, thank you for the information! I have only seen a handwritten transcription of the main epitaph text, but unfortunately I have not seen photographs or rubbings of the whole epitaph. Can you send me a copy of your term paper? I am sure I will learn a lot from it.
