Translation:

Hadeds is Arabic for Latin lens or lenticula {"lentil"}.


Commentary:

Hadeds:
Wehr (1976): ﻋﺪﺱ /ʕadas/ "lentil(s)". Siggel (1950: 51) s.v. ﻋﺪﺱ /ʕadas/ Ervum lens (Leg.), Linse {i.e. "lentil"}.

The expected transcription would be *Hades, the intrusive "d" or "o" after the second vowel remains unexplained.
