Open translation for this passage
Πεντελησίου λίθου πεποίηται· καὶ ταῖς χερσὶ τῇ μὲν ἐς εὐθὺ ἐκτέταται, τῇ δὲ ἀνέχει δᾷδα.
The first clause has an understood subject (the statue) with πεποίηται as a middle/passive perfect; in the coordinated description, χερσί is instrumental, with τῇ μέν ... τῇ δέ marking the two hands. The first hand is extended straight ahead, while the second holds a torch. The exact syntactic scope of the dative articles is somewhat elliptical.
