What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
