%N Primes of the form m = 7^i + 7^j - 1, where i > j >= 0.

%C The base-7 representation of a term 7^i + 7^j - 1 has base-7 digital sum = 1 + 6*j == 1 (mod 6).

%C Numbers m that satisfy m = 7^i + 7^j + 1 are never primes, since the base-7 digital sum of m is 3, and thus, m is divisible by 3.

%e a(1) = 7, since 7 = 7^1 + 7^0 - 1 is prime.

%e a(2) = 349, since 349 = 7^3 + 7^1 - 1 is prime.
