Documentary papyrus. The initial heading leaves no room for doubt: this was a letter (Ptolémaios XXX), the word "epistole" also figures in line 3. Although we are ignorant of the subject of the letter, one can reasonably suppose that it was administrative and not personal (like the other letters found in the same cartonnage of a mummy).
