A 10mm wire converted to AWG is about a triple zero (000) gauge..which is huge.

It may be the size with the insulation..in that case it is probably a 4ga...but no way for me to be sure without seeing it for myself..or an accurate measurment of the wire itself.

I doubt it is 10mm squared in size as that would be too heavy to lift...lol..I don't know what the "squared" means in this case.

Assuming your measurments are accurate the wire is very close to a zero gauge.
