COMMENTS
The semiperimeters of cyclic quadrilaterals with four consecutive odd prime sides are given in A131019. This arises in the cyclic quadrilateral analog of A106171.

FORMULA
a(n) = prime(k) for some k such that, where S = semiperimeter = (prime(k) + prime(k+1) + prime(k+2) + prime(k+3))/2 is an element of A131019 and rounded area = round(sqrt((S-prime(k)*S-prime(k+1)*S-prime(k+2)*S-prime(k+3)) is prime.
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 61 because (61 + 67 + 71 + 73)/2 = 136 and sqrt((136 - 61)*(136 - 67)*(136 - 71)*(136 - 73)) = 4603.43622 and round(4603.43622) = 4603 is prime.
MAPLE
Digits := 80 : isA131020 := proc(p) local p2, p3, p4, s, area; if isprime(p) then p2 := nextprime(p) ; p3 := nextprime(p2) ; p4 := nextprime(p3) ; s := (p+p2+p3+p4)/2 ; area := round(sqrt((s-p)*(s-p2)*(s-p3)*(s-p4))) ; RETURN(isprime(area)) ; else false ; fi ; end: for n from 1 to 380 do if isA131020(ithprime(n)) then printf("%d, ", ithprime(n)) ; fi ; od;
