ἀγάλματα δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ, ποδῶν ἑπτὰ οὐκ ἀποδέον ἕκαστον, Δήμητρός ἐστι καὶ ἡ παῖς καὶ ὁ Διόνυσος, τὰ πάντα ὁμοίως λίθου.
The sentence is elliptical: ἐστι links the statues (ἀγάλματα, with the named figures) to an understood identification/material predicate, while ποδῶν ἑπτὰ οὐκ ἀποδέον ἕκαστον gives the size of each statue; the attachment of ἀποδέον and ἕκαστον is therefore somewhat uncertain.
