Nattier does not regard the ascription to Zhi Qian as reliable.

According to Zürcher, Sengyou attributed thirty-six texts to Zhi Qian 支謙, of which twenty-three have survived. This entry lists texts which are ascribed to Zhi Qian in the present Taishō, yet do not appear among Sengyou’s attributions.

[Sakaino 1935]  Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋. Shina Bukkyō seishi 支那佛教精史. Tokyo: Sakaino Kōyō Hakushi Ikō Kankōkai, 1935. — 132

Sakaino claims that the Xumoti zhangzhe jing 須摩提長者經 T530 is not Zhi Qian’s work, since it uses relatively new terms including 阿耨多羅三藐三菩提; 夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽 for various categories in the "eightfold celestial congregation" 天龍八部, and 色受想行識 for the five aggregates 五蘊.

Nattier mentions T530 as an example of an ascription to Zhi Qian rendered implausible by the presence in the text of 如是我聞, which is never used before Kumārajīva.
