A263049 a(n) = smallest prime p(k) such that the gaps between the primes p(k), p(k+1), p(k+2), ..., p(k+n) are 2n, 2n-2, ... 6, 4, 2.

Examples
Consider the consecutive primes 1979, 1987, 1993, 1997, 1999. The gaps are 8, 6, 4, 2, and this does not occur for any prime smaller than 1979, so a(4)=1979.
