The question in the OP is about whether there are any ancient sources that claim Jesus didn't exist as an argument against Christianity. I explained that there isn't, at that those who argued against Christianity presupposed that Jesus was a historical person

The evidence for Jesus is obvious: four biographies of his life, references in Acts and the New Testament epistles and other references in both Christian and non-Christian sources (most notably Josephus and Tacitus, two excellent and reliable historians). It doesn't simply outweigh evidence against Jesus' existence: there simply is no positive evidence against the existence of Jesus full stop.
