FOOTNOTES:
==========
 (1) Since there is no elevation separating the stones from the Markulis, these stones are considered as being "seen with" the Markulis, and we must suspect that they were once part of the Markulis and fell from it. (RASHI DH b'Tefisah Achas; see TOSFOS.)
(2) Since there is an elevation separating the stones from the Markulis, the stones are not considered as being "seen with" the Markulis, and thus we do not suspect that they fell from the Markulis. (RASHI DH d'Ika Govah; see TOSFOS.)
(3) Rebbi Yishmael maintains that the manner of serving the Markulis is to construct a small Markulis (of three adjacent stones) next to the large Markulis.
(4) It is only the manner to make a small Markulis adjacent to the large one, but not far away from it.
