Hmm... you've given that name to two different things.
Still, I think I know what you mean.

Ok.

i_2(63)=13,      i_2(1191)=29,   i_2(1649)=37,   i_2(585)=53,
i_2(3913)=61,    i_2(7695)=149,  i_2(13143)=181, i_2(73143)=229,
i_2(4599)=293,   i_2(29319)=373, i_2(25025)=461, i_2(77121)=541,
i_2(299831)=757, i_2(64305)=773.

But that looks too easy. Did I get something wrong?
