COMMENTS
A necessary condition for a prime being in this sequence is that the sum of this and the subsequent 24 primes divided by 5 must be an odd integer. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 30 2018

EXAMPLE
The smallest 5 X 5 magic square that can be formed from 25 consecutive primes consists of the primes 13 through 113, so the first term is 13:
n = 1
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 13 | 107| 73 | 101| 19 |
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 97 | 17 | 79 | 37 | 83 |
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 41 | 53 | 109| 43 | 67 |
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 103| 89 | 29 | 61 | 31 |
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 59 | 47 | 23 | 71 | 113|
|----|----|----|----|----|
The next smallest consists of the primes 59 through 179, so the second term is 59:
n = 2
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 59 | 163| 151| 137| 67 |
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 149| 61 | 79 | 109| 179|
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 113| 83 | 173| 107| 101|
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 167| 139| 71 | 127| 73 |
|----|----|----|----|----|
| 89 | 131| 103| 97 | 157|
|----|----|----|----|----|
PROG
(PARI) A272386(n)=MagicPrimes(A176571(n), 5)[1] \\ See A073519 for MagicPrimes(). - M. F. Hasler, Oct 28 2018
(PARI) is_candidate(p)={denominator(p=A173981(, p))==1 && bittest(p, 0)} \\ For p < 167, this yields exactly the terms of A272386. Exceptions (primes satisfying this but not in A272386) are (167, 227, 383, 461, 607, ...). - M. F. Hasler, Oct 30 2018
