F. Richard Stephenson, Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation, [1997], 359 "And Phlegon also who compiled the Olympiads writes about the same things in his 13th book in the following words: 'In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (AD 32-33), and eclipse of the Sun took place greater than any previously known, and night came on at the sixth hour of the day, so that stars actually appeared in the sky; and a great earthquake took place in Bithynia and overthrew the greater part of Niceaea."
Possibly refers to a total solar eclipse of 24 November AD 29, the reference to AD32-33 being incorrect.
From: Phlegon, Olympiades, fragment 17.
