holm

Pero apenas estuvo fuera del alcance de la vista, se echó a correr junto con su hermano introduciéndose en el espeso encinar que llegaba a lamer la base de la escarpadura sobre la cual se alzaban las murallas de Agrigento.
But as soon as he was outside the others’ field of vision, he and his brother began running through the thick holm-oak forest which led up to the base of the escarpment that Acragas’s walls were built on.

Evitaban los caminos y las poblaciones y caminaban sin un árbol a cuya sombra cobijarse, puesto que allí donde se elevaban los encinares o alcornocales se arracimaban rebaños de ovejas o cabras, o piaras de cerdos custodiadas por pastores con los que no deseaban encontrarse.
They avoided the roads and towns and walked without a single tree beneath which to take shelter, for the flocks of sheep and goats and the herds of pigs gathered where the holm-oak woods and cork oaks grew, and they were watched over by shepherds, and the women didn’t want to run into anyone.
