Then it survived in Latin and was eventually translated back into Greek (how well, I do not know). Anyway, it proves nothing. Regarding
Clement of Alexandria, Victorinus, Jerome … nah. Like Ireneaus they prove nothing (even though Wayne Jackson did his utmost). So you have provided not a single piece of external evidence for a late date. 0/10.
Regarding your attempts to prove
Internal Evidence. I am prepared to fail you with 0/10.
Sorry.
