set[ting] free more than the 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.
set[ting] free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.

我理解：1。放了 500个他的奴隶，并有超过500以外的非他所有的奴隶
            2。放了 500个以上的他的奴隶

我的理解就是如此，大家有异议吗？请指点

set[ting] free more than the 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.
放走了500多奴隶（而这其中只有500个是他自己的）
也就是他还放走了别人的奴隶。

set[ting] free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.
放走了在法律上被视为他的私有财产的500多奴隶。
（放走的都是他自己的奴隶）
