  The baryon masses on CLS ensembles are used to determine the LEC that
characterize QCD in the flavor-SU(3) limit with vanishing up, down, and strange
quark masses. Here we reevaluate some of the baryon masses on flavor-symmetric
ensembles with much-improved statistical precision, in particular for the
decuplet states. These additional results then lead to a more significant
chiral extrapolation of the Lattice data set to its chiral SU(3) limit. Our
results are based on the chiral Lagrangian with baryon octet and decuplet
fields considered at the one-loop level. Finite-box and discretization effects
of the Lattice data are considered systematically. While in our global fit of
the data we insist on large-Nc sum rules for the LEC that enter at N3LO, all
other LEC are unconstrained. In particular, we obtain values for the chiral
limit of the pion decay constant and the isospin-limit of the quark-mass ratio
compatible with the FLAG report.
