The analogue for 3-almost primes (or, as njas prefers, numbers which are the
product of exactly 3 primes) is left as an exercise for the reader...  I've
just submitted the following.

Subject: PRE-NUMBERED NEW SEQUENCE A124570 FROM Jonathan Vos Post


%I A124570
%S A124570 4, 4, 4, 4, 9, 4, 4, 4, 33, 4, 4, 6, 91, 0, 4, 4, 6, 115,
213, 0, 4, 4, 4, 6, 0, 1383, 0, 4, 4, 4, 77, 111, 0, 8129, 0, 4, 4, 14
%N A124570 Array read by antidiagonals: T(d,k) (k >= 1, d =
1,2,3,4,5,6,...) = smallest semiprime s of k (not necessarily consecutive)
semiprimes in arithmetic progression with common difference d.
%C A124570 Semiprime analogue of A124064 Array read by antidiagonals:
T(d,k) (k >= 1, d = 2,4,6,8,...) = smallest prime p of k (not
necessarily consecutive) primes in arithmetic progression with common
difference d. The row d=0 and the column k=1 are degenerate and are filled with
the semiprime 4. Once a 0 occurs in a row, there are no more nonzero
vales in the row. For example, There cannot be 4 semiprimes in arithmetic
progression with common difference 3, starting with k, because modulo 4
we have {k, k+3, k+6, k+9} == {k+0, k+3, k+2, k+1} and one of these
must be divisible by 4, hence a nonsemiprime (eliminating k = 4 by
inspection).
%e A124570 Array begins:
d.\...k=1.k=2..k=3..k=4..k=5..k=6..k=7..k=8
0..|..4...4....4....4....4....4....4....4
1..|..4...9....33...0....0....0....0....0
2..|..4...4....91...213..1383.8129.3091.0
3..|..4...6....115..0....0....0....0....0

5..|..4...4....77...
6..|..4...4....
7..|..4...14...51...
8..|..4...6....6....69.
Example for row 3: 115 = 5 * 23 is semiprime, 115+3 = 118 = 2 * 59 is
semiprime, and 115+3+3 = 121 = 11^2 is semiprime, so T(3,3) = 115.
