I think there are some bilingual texts, including Codices Carolinus and Gissensis, which are bibles, church documents, etc.

I think there may be an extant letter from Modares to one of the Catholic bishops. I know there is much of an extant letter of Auxentius.

I think we can assume a Gothic source, if not an originally Gothic text, for the Passion of Saint Saba, even if it only survives in a Greek text.

I can think of the Getica, Etymologiae by St Isidore, and that's about it. Also, "skapja matsja ja drincan" can only be Vandalic (we can say it could have been a dialect of Gothic, but that's what Vandalic was, anyway, right?) because of where and when it was written down. Still, it can shed some light on Gothic; I'm thinking "skapjam" or something could have been an idiom for "let's". It would make sense that way.
