A069567: Smaller of two consecutive primes which are anagrams of each other (base 10).

{ 1913, 18379, 19013, 25013, 34613, 35617, 35879, ... }
The 293 rd prime is 1913. The 294th prime is 1931. It just so happens that both of these are anagrams of their base 10 digits, namely: two 1s, a 3 and a 9. These pairs of primes are called Ormiston pairs or rearrangement prime pairs. (An Ormiston pair can be generalized to an Ormiston k-tuple:
k
consecutive primes which are anagrams.) The relation of the prime counting function is important; it is not enough for the two primes to be anagrams, it must also be the case that
π (Op1 ) = π (Op2 )  −  1
. Thus, 179 and 197 don’t count as an Ormiston pair because
π (179) = 41
and
π (197) = 45
.
