COMMENTS
Analog of prime(1^2) + prime(2^2) + ... + prime(n^2) (A109724). For a(n) to be prime for n > 1 it is necessary but not sufficient that n == 0 (mod 4).

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} A000040(A000583(i)).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 because prime(1^4) = prime(1) = 2.
a(2) = 55 because prime(1^4) + prime(2^4) = prime(1) + prime(16) = 2 + 53.
a(3) = 474 because prime(1^4) + prime(2^4) + prime(3^4) = prime(1) + prime(16) + prime(81) = 2 + 53 + 419.
a(4) = 2093 because prime(1^4) + prime(2^4) + prime(3^4) + prime(4^4) = 2 + 53 + 419 + prime(256) = 2 + 53 + 419 + 1619.
a(8) = 2 + 53 + 419 + 1619 + 4637 + 10627 + 21391 + 38873 = 77621 (which is prime).
a(12) = 2 + 53 + 419 + 1619 + 4637 + 10627 + 21391 + 38873 + 65687 + 104729 + 159521 + 233879 = 641437 (which is prime).
a(28) = 2 + 53 + 419 + 1619 + 4637 + 10627 + 21391 + 38873 + 65687 + 104729 + 159521 + 233879 + 331943 + 459341 + 620201 + 821641 + 1069603 + 1370099 + 1731659 + 2160553 + 2667983 + 3260137 + 3948809 + 4742977 + 5653807 + 6691987 + 7867547 + 9195889 = 53235613 (which is prime).
It is a coincidence that a(1), a(2) and a(3) are all palindromes.
