Commentary for Avodah Zarah 106:16

כי אתא עולא יתיב אבימסא פגימא א"ל רב יהודה לעולא והא רב ושמואל דאמרי תרוייהו בימוס שנפגם אסור ואפי' למ"ד אין עובדים לשברים ה"מ עבודת כוכבים דזילא ביה מלתא למפלח לשברים אבל האי לא איכפת ליה

Rav Judah said to him: Did not both Rav and Shmuel declare that a damaged pedestal is prohibited; and even according to him who said that they do not worship fragments [of idols], that applies only to an idol because it is degrading to worship fragments but with this [pedestal] one does not care!
