For D=13, the least positive y for which x^2-D*y^2=3 has a solution is 1. The next prime, D, for which x^2-D*y^2=3 has a solution is 61, but the smallest positive y in this case is also 1, which is equal to the previous record y. So, 61 is not a term. The next prime, D, after 61 for which x^2-D*y^2=3 has a solution is 73, and the least positive y for which it has a solution in this case is y=11, which is larger than 1, so it is a new record y value. So, 73 is a term in this sequence and 11 is a term in A336800.
