I do not expect to find a text in Gothic. The only text in Gothic that I am aware of is the Codex Argenteus, Bishop Wulfila's translation of the Bible into the Gothic language. The Creed of Ulfilas (Wulfila) was most likely written in Greek by Auxentius, Bishop of Milan (I only have a translation of it.)
The problem is that I cannot find any Arian Christianity sources after the adoption of Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed at the First Council of Constantinople in 381 by the Catholic Christianity.
So I created an Apostle's Creed that will be used in a church service after the homily in the novel. I want readers familiar with the Nicene Creed to recognize that the Visigothic form of Christianity was quite different from Catholic Christianity. But I want the creed to be historically possible.
