ABOUT ECLIPSE, MENTIONED IN SINKELLOS

In Morozov in (1) on p. 386 in section IV-VIII  is going about solar eclipse mentioned in Sinkellos with reference to Africanus (2), (3, � 35):

"Flegon tells that during Caesar Tiberius was a full solar eclipse from hour sixth to hour (the word a Gospel) in full Moon. This obviously our".

Description obviously fantastical unlike mentioning about him, as it is accepted to consider, in Flegon, transcribed from Eusebius:

"JESUS CHRIST, Son God's, our gentlemen, damaged on made about him prophetition on 19-th year of Tiberius. For this time we see in greek memorial books a word in word following: sun wented out. In the same way Phlegon: solar eclipse happened in fourth year 202 olympiads, which was more all known early"

For proof of fantastically is wholly obviously:

1. Nor one solar eclipse can be azh three hours
2. Nor one solar eclipse can be in full moon.

Fourth year 202 Olympiads - this 32-th year AD. Nearest serious eclipses observed from Constantinopol:

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

To vernal equinox and nearest month after he does not refer nor one nor another.

Message Sinkellosa unauthentic. Probably description carries the fairy-tale nature and the question is allegory. Though consideration of this eclipse by Morozov with standpoint an chronological shift and the further messes in the sources also claims attention.
