%N Primes p such that at least one number among p+-2, p+-4, p+-6 is also a prime.

%C The union of A167833 and this sequence is the set of all prime numbers, A000040.

%e Prime number 191: the closest prime number to 191 is 193 with 193-191 = 2 <= 6. So 191 is in this sequence.

%e Prime number 211: the closest prime number to 211 is 199 with 211-199=12 > 6. So 211 is not in this sequence.

%t p = 2; Table[While[p = NextPrime[p]; ((NextPrime[p] - p) > 6) && (6 < (p - NextPrime[p, -1]))]; p, {n, 1, 58}]
