Which, of course, it doesen't. Another senior moment ...

Here's what I meant (yeah,sure):

Halleux, R. and  J. Schamp. *Les Lapidaires Grecs* (Paris: 1985)

 ---- *Orphica* Ed. Eugene Abel (Leipzig:1885)

The *Orpheos Lithika* is a dactylic poem of 774 lines on the
magical powers of stones that links their use and curative
properties to mythological characters.

Now within reach of books,
