I do not know if "one source events" is a common name; I think I just coined this phrase. What I mean is events for which we have only one source. For example:
* Cyrus conquered Lydia before Babylonia (only in Herodotus + derivate sources)
* Ptolemy III captured Babylon (only Ptolemy III chronicle)
* The Jews shouted that Jesus' blood would be on them and on their children (only in Matthew)
* Agricola's campaigns in Britain (only Tacitus)
* Caracalla awarded the Roman citizenship to every freeborn male to increase his revenues (Cassius Dio only)
Anyone else?
