Example

a(1) = 43:
0^4 + 0^3 + 0^2 + 0 + 43 =   43;
1^4 + 1^3 + 1^2 + 1 + 43 =   47;
2^4 + 2^3 + 2^2 + 2 + 43 =   73;
3^4 + 3^3 + 3^2 + 3 + 43 =  163;
4^4 + 4^3 + 4^2 + 4 + 43 =  383;
5^4 + 5^3 + 5^2 + 5 + 43 =  823;
6^4 + 6^3 + 6^2 + 6 + 43 = 1597;
7^4 + 7^3 + 7^2 + 7 + 43 = 2843;
8^4 + 8^3 + 8^2 + 8 + 43 = 4723;
all nine are primes, and
9^4 + 9^3 + 9^2 + 9 + 43 = 7423 = 13*571 is composite.
The next prime for p=43 appears for k=13, namely 30983.
