Open translation for this passage
πεποίηται δὲ γυνὴ παῖδα λευκὸν καθεύδοντα ἀνέχουσα τῇ δεξιᾷ χειρί, τῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ μέλανα ἔχει παῖδα καθεύδοντι ἐοικότα, ἀμφοτέρους διεστραμμένους τοὺς πόδας.
The syntax is a coordinated description with two finite verbs; the second clause contains a somewhat compressed dative phrase at τῇ ἑτέρᾳ and an adjectival/participial chain modifying the objects.
