It could have been based on another piece of Judaeo-Greek text, or it could have been the author's own composition. It could have been an attempt to put into writing some poetry that the author knew only from an oral tradition. There are other possibilities, for example that it was a translation of another text from Hebrew or another language, but these are less likely in my opinion.
But are you not saying that you can convert the Voynich MS text to Greek written in unpointed Hebrew?
If you don't have a clear view of what was done when the MS text was composed, you cannot convert it back.
So is this, or is this not something that could have been written in Judaeo-Greek:
