On the matter of Jesus being 50

I've read multiple posts opposing and advocating Irenaeus' view, but I hardly hear of any other historical church father/writer supporting this view. Yes, his arguments are interesting, but what did his contemporaries, and those before him say also? Help a friend 🙏

My main source for research questions like this is the r/academicbiblical forum. They've a few post on Irenaeus and where the age estimate of 33 comes from, but I did not find much else. It may be worth making a post there.

It seems like the forum no longer exists. I've tried searching for it
