ABOUT ECLIPSE MENTIONED IN PHLEGON

In Morozov (1) on p. 385 in chapter IV-VIII  is going about eclipse mentioned in Phlegon
and traffed in his book most eventually from Eusebius Pamphilii (2), (3, � 35):

"Jesus Chrise, God Son, our Lord, suffered according to making prophets in Tiberius 19-th year. For this time we see in greec memmory books word in word the following: Sun was went out..... So Phlegon: in IV-th year of Olympiad 202 was held the solar eclipse, which was larger then kwown former...."

This description has so dence farbs but its very similar to real in difference from this one description in Sinkellos with refer to African:

"Phlegon says thaht during Caesar Tiberius was the whole solar eclipse from the hour six to the ninth (words from Evangelie). This one is obviuos our".

Is obvious the other too:

1. No one solar eclipse hast longness three hours.
2. No one solar eclipse taking place in full Moon.

The forth year of the 202 Olympiad is 32 AD. The nearest serious eclipses observed form Constantinopol:

29/11/24 08:28  0.969
49/05/20 08:06  0.720

 No one has relation to the spring equalday.

So the Eusebius information isn't authentically. Probably the description has the tale character and is going ablut allegory.

Beside the consideration of this eclipse by Morozov from the chronological shift and further misorder in sources claim the attention too.
