He was listed as Egyptian, because he travelled from Alexandria to the Games in 1896. However, he was born in England and returned there afterwards. His brother Xenophon was born in Alexandria. Both competed in Athina in 1906 in doubles tennis with Greek partners (and there were no transnational partnerships then), so I list them as Greek.
