    I think there must have been a slight error creep in somewhere, {20, 23, 25, 28} aren’t in AP. within the limits of my available RAM these are the AP PrimeSubscripts

    {353,431,509,587}
    {401,2081,3761,5441}
    {587,1217,1847,2477}
    {859,1153,1447,1741}
    {2341,3637,4933,6229}
    {2683,3001,3319,3637}
    {3019,3169,3319,3469}
    {4759,4933,5107,5281}

    with their corresponding differences

    {78,78,78}
    {1680,1680,1680}
    {630,630,630}
    {294,294,294}
    {1296,1296,1296}
    {318,318,318}
    {150,150,150}
    {174,174,174}

    The PrimePi [PrimePI [List] is

    {20,23,25,28}
    {22,65,99,128}
    {28,46,61,73}
    {35,43,50,58}
    {69,97,120,141}
    {77,83,91,97}
    {84,87,91,93}
    {116,120,124,126}

    and differences

    {3,2,3}
    {43,34,29}
    {18,15,12}
    {8,7,8}
    {28,23,21}
    {6,8,6}
    {3,4,2}
    {4,4,2}

    none of them have an Ap in that last list, so I’m not saying they don’t exists but will need a lot more searching to find one. The dataset I used contained 160 Primesubscripts which ended at 7417 and the subset of 4 from that list is some 26294360 and only 8 of them are in AP.

    A bit of Code
    a=Table[Prime[Prime[n]],{n,160}];
    b = Subsets[a, {4}];
    c=Cases[b,{a_,b_,c_,d_}/;d-c==c-b==b-a]
    d=PrimePi[PrimePi[c]]

      You’re right. I missed that. How bizarre!

        A saying over this side of the pond:- Stranger things have happened at sea:)

        What I did notice was that PrimePi of PriemPi Of the prime subscripts, where prime subscripts went from1 to n, is 1 to n. The list above (3,5,11,17… 1471) is n = 1 to 51 and PrimePi of PrimePi (3,5,11,17…1471) is 1 to 51.

    Checking AP < 10000 and the p1 < prime(10^4), p2 < prime(2*10^4), p3 < prime(3*10^4), p4 < prime(4*10^4).

    Found 2. Only went up to A {1701, 1702, 1703, 1704} (diff = 1)
    AP = 810: (371131, 371941, 372751, 373561) -> {3400, 3406, 3412, 3418} (diff = 6)

    ^These comments don’t appear to be working properly…Hopefully this works.

    AP = 66: (158161, 158227, 158293, 158359) -> {1701, 1702, 1703, 1704} (diff = 1)
