Melech yacov asks:
it was said on this daf that Markolis that structure of three stones, two set next to each other and the third on top. but there is debate about it? Where are sources to understand the structure? of a merkolis idol?

The Kollel replies:
Dear Melech,
Markolis is discussed in Avoda Zara 49b-50a. The idol site is originally built with 3 stones. Afterword additional stones can become part of the idol itself depending on number and closeness.
All the best,
Reuven Weiner
Yaakov Tavin comments:
I do not remember the source, but there are opinions that the three stone structure represents a bow poised to shoot upward, to demonstrate the worshippers defiance of HaShem.
