COMMENTS
For n = 3, 6, 15, 19 the corresponding primes are 261631, 68719214591, 1237940039285345090527035391, 20769187434139310370006797241024511.
3*a(n) belongs to A098845 (the terms from a(18) to a(23) are derived from that sequence).
EXAMPLE
3 is in the sequence because 64^3 - 8^3 - 1 = 261631 is prime.
