    What theory of pragmatics do you want to identify? Discourse analysis includes aspects of pragmatics.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    So, are you thinking Levinsohn or Porter? Those are the two I have some casual familiarity with. You can't apply a technique correctly if you don't understand the "what" of what you are applying.

    Yes those two and Brevard Childs, Timothy Ward and Kevin Vanhoozer.

    So, you should know more about pragmatics than I as my training precedes pragmatics as a major topic in linguistics. You'll need to follow the examples until you can analyze the sample texts yourself - and ask yourself on each and every tagging "what does this add to my understanding of the text?"

    I cannot find the markers at all. Are examples accessible?

    You've read 5 books on the topic and they've given no examples? Use Google to search "pragmatic markers" Greek . Or since pragmatic markers are a subset of discourse markers - just used for a different focus of study - try scholar.google.com with the search argument "pragmatic markers" in koine greek. That brought up several interesting PDF's
