Here's my stab at it, using the following notation (derived primarily from
Olsen, but not used exactly as she does)

S=Speech Time
C=Deictic Centre (sometimes called by "Reference Time" by others)
R=Reference Time
E=Event Time
<=Prior to
==simultaneous with
[E]R or R[E]=intersects at coda
[ER] or [RE]=intersects at nucleus

Kai eidon qronouS: [E]R=C<S

kai ekaqisan ep autouS: [E]R=C<S

kai krima edoqh autoiS: [E]R=C<S

kai oitineS ou prosekunhsan to qhrion oude thn eikona autou: [E]R<C<S
