Rule of Faith2 mentions

De Praescriptionibus Hereticorum (Latin) · De Virginibus Velandis (Latin)

Although, even if they discussed certain things among their household, so to speak, yet it is not to be believed that these were such as would superinduce another rule of faith, diverse and contrary to that which they were catholically bringing forth into the open — so that they should name one God in the Church, another in the lodging;

in the texts

De Praescriptionibus HereticorumLate Antiquity · Latin

The fixed creedal rule of faith instituted by Christ, the boundary of legitimate Christian belief and inquiry.

de praescriptionibus hereticorum ¶

chapter 1 ¶

These compendious methods, more or less, we use when we are extricating ourselves against the heretics concerning the faith of the gospel — pleading both the order of times that prescribes against the lateness of falsifiers, and the authority of the churches that gives patronage to the tradition of the apostles, because the truth must precede the false, and must proceed from those by whom it was handed down.

book 4 ¶

De Virginibus VelandisLate Antiquity · Latin

The fixed core of Christian belief (Creed-like formula), unlike matters of discipline which can develop

The rule of faith, indeed, is altogether one, alone immovable and unalterable:
