This map is mentioned on p. 25 of James' book. He cites three publications that discuss the debunking of the shield covering idea:
Rebuffat, R.,1986 'Le bouclier de Doura' in Syria LXIII, 85-105
Arnaud, P., 1988 'Observationssur l'original du fragment de carte du pseudo-bouclier de Doura-Europos,' in Revue des Études Anciennes 90, 151-156
Arnaud, P., 'Une deuxieme lecture du 'bouclier" de Doura-Europos,' CRAI, 373-87.
I'm glad this topic came up! I read about the 'shield-map' in Hopkins' "The Discovery of Dura Europos" and hadn't heard anything contrary to that supposition until today when Patrick mentioned this post.
