I am doing a study on Josephus and the destruction of OC Jerusalem and the Priesthood/Temple/Sanctuary and would like a list of all the ECFs that mentioned his writings and the dates of those. Thanks.
The day on which Titusencompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover. At this season multitudes came up from all the surrounding country, and from distant parts, to keep the festival..........
.
.......The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins

I do know that that Origen quoted Josephus, but most of the information I've found about it deal with Josephus' passage on Jesus Christ, not so much his writings on the Temple and its destruction.
__________________ Many people think that the question should be: have you made Jesus your Lord? Have you invited him unreservedly into your heart? Have you completely dedicated every part of yourself and your life to him?
The trouble is that when we are truthful, the answer must always be "No." So let's ask the question a different way.
Has Jesus given everything for you? Has he dedicated his whole life to you? Has he invited you into his heart? And the answer to that is a glorious and gracious and conscious, freeing, comforting YES!

I did some more digging. Basically, I updated my e-Sword software (freeware) with the Early Church Fathers (also free) and did a search for Josephus. You can do the same to get more detail. This is my result from searching the first three volumes (there are nine).
Justin Martyr, in Dialogue with Trypho, mentions Josephus' information about the differences between the Pharisees and the Essenes.
Justin Martyr, in Hortatory Address, mentions Josephus in a discussion of the historicity of Moses.
Iraeaeus, in Against Heresies, brings up Josephus as mentioning as historical a pillar he himself had seen.
Iranaeus, in Fragments, mentions Josephus in a discussion of the historicity of Moses.
Theophilus, in To Autolycus, mentions Josephus as one of his sources for his chronology in chapter 23.
Clement, in Stromata, uses Josephus to compute some historic eras (from Moses to David was 585 years, for example)
Tertullian, in Apology, mentions Josephus in a discussion of the historicity of Moses.
