  We compute the strangeness content of the baryon octet and decuplet states
based on an analysis of recent lattice simulations of the BMW, PACS, LHPC and
HSC groups for the pion-mass dependence of the baryon masses. Our results rely
on the relativistic chiral Lagrangian and large-$N_c$ sum rule estimates of the
counter terms relevant for the baryon masses at N$^3$LO. A partial summation is
implied by the use of physical baryon and meson masses in the one-loop
contributions to the baryon self energies. A simultaneous description of the
lattice results of the BMW, LHPC, PACS and HSC groups is achieved. From a
global fit we determine the axial coupling constants $F\simeq 0.45$ and $D
\simeq 0.80 $ in agreement with their values extracted from semi-leptonic
decays of the baryons. Moreover, various flavor symmetric limits of baron octet
and decuplet masses as obtained by the QCDSF-UKQCD group are recovered. We
predict the pion- and strangeness sigma terms and the pion-mass dependence of
the octet and decuplet ground states at different strange quark masses.
