Comments

a(n+1) is the next smallest prime beginning with a(n). Initial term is 6. After a(1), these are the primes arising in A069608.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..16.

Example

a(1) = 6 by definition.
a(2) is the next smallest prime beginning with 6, so a(2) = 61.
a(3) is the next smallest prime beginning with 61, so a(3) = 613.
