“Gavata, quia cavāta, G prō C litterā positā. Hinc et conca; sed illa cavāta, ista concāva: sīc et Graecī haec nuncupant.”

It's called gavata because it's hollowed out, with G put instead of C. Hence conca as well; but the former is hollowed, this one is concave: thus do the Greeks also call them.
