Don't really know, but it sounds just like a riddle in Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM that goes like this... I don't know if it will help...
"Out of the dead the living came,
Six there was, and seven there will be,
Tell me this riddle and I’ll be."
Answer: a bird’s nest in the carcass of a horse with six chicks and one unhatched egg.

Ok, here's my guess - "from the dead, a living came" - an undertaker burying 12 people in 6 graves, 2 people per grave?

the man was of the dead and got the slave to set him free if he did in return i guess.

Could it be that he was walking and the sun was setting or dawning, casting shadows of 6 men......stretch I know, makes me wonder....
