COMMENTS
Apart from the first entry, the majority of the entries stem from k=4, i.e., this is essentially a reverse lookup within A033560. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 15 2012
EXAMPLE
2 is in the sequence because prime(2) = prime(2-1)+1 = 3,
31 is in the sequence because prime(31) = prime(31-4)+1*2*3*4 = 103+24 = 127,
43 is in the sequence because prime(43) = prime(43-4)+1*2*3*4 = 167+24 = 191.
