Just to share an example of the type of text passage I am looking at, as a comparison with JKP's cipher, consider for example the following Greek verse of the New Testament, 1 John 2:19 (this is the First Epistle of John, not the Gospel of John):
"εξ ημων εξηλθον αλλ ουκ ησαν εξ ημων ει γαρ ησαν εξ ημων μεμενηκεισαν αν μεθ ημων αλλ ινα φανερωθωσιν οτι ουκ εισιν παντες εξ ημων"
Now xi (ξ) is one of the least frequent letters of the alphabet in Greek texts in general, but you would never know it from this verse, since the common preposition "εκ" is written as "εξ" before a vowel, and we find that no less than four times in this short verse, with the repetition of the phrase "εξ ημων", meaning "out from us" or "(out) of us".
We even find the long repeated phrase "ησαν εξ ημων", separated by just two short words. This is similar to the patterning in the second line of JKP's cipher.
If for example this passage were part of the plain text, we would get the surprising result that a frequent consonant like JKP's cipher character [t] could turn out to be a rare letter like the Greek xi. These kinds of things happen in short passages with 100-200 letters.
