COMMENTS
If x is a prime and 2*x-y,2*x-z,2*x+z,2*x+y+32 are consecutive primes with 0 < z < y, then 2*x-y is a term. Thus Dickson's conjecture implies there are infinitely many terms.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 23 is a term because 23, 29, 31, 37 are consecutive primes, and A001414(29+31) = A001414(2^2*3*5) = 12 divides 23+29+31+37 = 120.
