The first row is the lexicographically first 3 X 3 magic square of consecutive primes with the smallest possible magic constant 4440084513 = A270305(1) = A073520(3).
The same 9 terms are also given in increasing order in sequence A073519. But this is equivalent of giving just the smallest of the terms (cf. A256891) or the central element (cf. A166113) or the magic constant itself (cf. A270305), which uniquely determines the sequence of primes since they have to be consecutive and their sum is equal to 3 times the magic constant.
In the case of 3 X 3 magic squares, however, the lexicographically smallest representative has its elements in a well-defined order, see comment in A320872. This allows the reconstruction of the square from the set of primes which can be computed from the central elements A166113 or magic constants A270305, cf. PROGRAM in A073519.

Examples

			The first row of 9 terms, (1480028141, 1480028189, 1480028183, 1480028213, 1480028171, 1480028129, 1480028159, 1480028153, 1480028201), corresponds to the following smallest 3 X 3 magic square of consecutive primes:
    [1480028141  1480028189  1480028183]
    [1480028213  1480028171  1480028129] .
    [1480028159  1480028153  1480028201]
The eleventh row yields the first example where the second term is smaller than the third one:
    [23813359643  23813359721  23813359727]
    [23813359781  23813359697  23813359613] .

From Robert Israel, Feb 16 2016: (Start)
All terms are 3 times odd primes.
3*p is a term if and only if p is a prime not in A073350.
Conjecture: 3*p is a term for every prime > 859.
I verified this for all primes < 100000.
The Green-Tao theorem implies the sequence is infinite: given one magic square with entries a(i,j), there are infinitely many pairs of positive integers x,y such that b(i,j) = x + y*a(i,j) are all prime. Then b(i,j) form another magic square. (End)
Every number of the form 3*(A227284(n) + 840) is in this sequence. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Feb 22 2016
The terms equal three times the central elements (and equivalently, one third of the sum of all elements) of the 3 X 3 magic squares made of primes, which are listed in A320872. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 28 2018

See A320871, A320872 and A320873 for the list of all 3 X 3 magic squares of distinct integers, primes, resp. consecutive primes. In all these, only the lexicographically smallest of the eight "equivalent" squares are listed. Note that the terms are not always in the order that corresponds to the terms of this sequence. For example, in row 3 of A320871 and row 11 of A320873, the second term is smaller than the third term. However, when this is not the case, then row n of the present sequence is the list of indices which gives the n-th variant of the square from the (ordered) set of 9 elements: e.g., (2, 7, 6, ...) means that the 2nd, 7th and 6th of the set of 9 numbers yield the first row of the square. For example, A320873(n) = A073519(a(n)), 1 <= n <= 9. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 04 2018

"Symmetries of the square" means the symmetry group D4 consisting of reflections on any of the 4 symmetry axes of the square (horizontal H, vertical V, 2 diagonals D & A), which also generates the rotations around the center by multiples of 90°, R1, R2, R3 (and R0 = id): e.g., H o D = R1, where D means to transpose the 3 X 3 matrix, H means reversal of the rows, etc.
The 8 ("equivalent") variants of the first square are listed in A217568.

Examples

			The first five inequivalent magic squares (with magic sums 15, 18, 18, 18, 21) are
   [2 7 6]    [ 2 9  7]    [ 3 7 8]    [ 3 8 7]    [ 2 11  8]
   [9 5 1]    [11 6  1]    [11 6 1]    [10 6 2]    [13  7  1]
   [4 3 8]    [ 5 3 10]    [ 4 5 9]    [ 5 4 9]    [ 6  3 12]
They are listed as rows of the 9 elements of each square, so the first row is:
  [2, 7, 6; 9, 5, 1; 4, 3, 8],
the second row is:
  [2, 9, 7; 11, 6, 1; 5, 3, 10], and so on.

This is also the 4 X 4 pandiagonal magic square made of consecutive primes which has the smallest possible magic constant (= sum), 682775764735680 = A256234(1). (In the present case there is no other non-equivalent pandiagonal 4 X 4 magic square having the same magic sum, but this could be possible as for rows 7 and 8 of A320872.)
There exist many non-pandiagonal 4 X 4 magic squares composed of consecutive primes with much smaller magic constant, the smallest being A073520(4) = 258.
Pandiagonal means that not only the 2 main diagonals, but also the 6 other "broken" diagonals all have the same sum, Sum_{i=1..4} A[i,M4(k +- i)] = 682775764735680 for k = 1, ..., 4 and M4(x) = y in {1, ..., 4} such that y == x (mod 4).
A pandiagonal magic square allows rotations (but not arbitrary cyclic permutations like, e.g., 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1) of columns or rows, as well as reflection on the 4 symmetry axes of the square (which also produce rotations of 90 degrees around the center of the square). Among all these variants of this square, there is none with elements coming earlier than (170693941183817, 170693941183933, ...), cf. PROGRAM for explicit verification.
The same 4 X 4 primes are given in increasing order in sequence A245721. But does not give more information than smallest term, the central term, or the magic constant itself (cf. A256234) which uniquely determines the sequence of primes (cf. PARI code) since they have to be consecutive and their sum is equal to 4 times the magic constant. The present sequence gives the full information about the magic square, and the given PARI code allows the production of all "equivalent" variants of the square.

Examples

			The magic square is
  [ 170693941183817 170693941183933 170693941183949 170693941183981 ]

  [ 170693941183891 170693941183859 170693941184023 170693941183907 ]
