%N Start with 6; thereafter, primes obtained by concatenating to the end of previous term the next smallest number that will produce a prime.

%C a(n+1) is the next smallest prime beginning with a(n). Initial term is 6. After a(1), these are the primes arising in A069608.

%e a(1) = 6 by definition.

%e a(2) is the next smallest prime beginning with 6, so a(2) = 61.

%e a(3) is the next smallest prime beginning with 61, so a(3) = 613.
