The identification as "pulse" is made by the Greek parallel at Geop 6:2., where it is clear that several leguminous plants are included in the term. However Bar Hebraeus at BhNom 226:6 clearly includes wheat in this category; hence we have avoided the word "pulse" which normally only include "legumes" in English.
