wild guess here.

Quantity 2 cables that has 4 internal conductors:

3 internal conductors with a cross sectional area of 102 mm + 1 conductor with a cross sectional area of 702 mm.

Dpending on the context, the two cables could be in the same jacket.

The nomenclature (3x10+1x70) indicates that it is an aerial bunched cable with 3 insulated cores of 10 sqmm and 1 aluminium conductor of 70 sqmm.
