Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 12.119.

Josephus, Against Apion 2:39.

Epiphanius, Panarion 51.110. A variant reading in the fifth-century manuscript Codex Bezae inserts the phrase: “And there was much rejoicing, and when we were gathered together” at the beginning of Acts 11:28, which makes this verse another “we” passage set in Antioch. This variant reading almost certainly derives from the tradition associating Luke with Antioch.

The “Anti-Marcionite” character of this prologue is dubious, and some date the text to the fourth century. See E. Gutwenger, Theological Studies 7 (1946), pp. 393–406.

See esp. Joseph Fitzmyer, The Gospel According to Luke: Introduction, Translation, and Notes, Anchor Bible 28 (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1981), vol. 1, pp. 35–59; and Luke the Theologian: Aspects of His Teaching (Mahwah, NJ: Paulist, 1989), pp. 1–26. Fitzmyer offers a carefully and critically nuanced defense of the tradition: Luke the physician was an uncircumcised Semite and sometime companion of Paul.
