Does Eusebius cite a creed in his work "Vita Bullneck"?

AFAIK the earliest creeds are via

Rufinius of Aqueila - on the "Council" of Nicaea
Socrates Scholasticus - on the "Council" of Nicaea
Hermias Sozomen - on the "Council" of Nicaea,
Theodoret of Cyrus - on the "Council" of Nicaea

and the earliest of these preserve the five sophisms of Arius about the [edit] Jesus [edit] figure.

In the "Life of Constantine" the author mentioned the Council of Nicaea, NOT the Nicene Creed.

Somewhere I got the notion that the then existing writings were voted on, individually and democratically, by the bishops present. Some of the "sacred" texts made it in by one vote.
