Ternary analogue of A094913?

Sorry for flooding you mailboxes... another (last(?)) word on this:
When I add 1 to the sequence (i.e. include the empty word) then I get
the sequence (for base=3)
vector(20,n,A094913(n,3)+1)
%3 = [2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 19, 25, 32, 40, 49, 58, 68, 79, 91, 104, 118,
133, 149, 166, 184]
which matches up to the "49" the sequence
http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A024536
%N A024536 [ (4th elementary symmetric function of P(n))/(3rd
elementary symmetric function of P(n)) ], where P(n) = {1, p(1), p(2),
..., p(n-1)}, where p(0) = 1.

Unfortunately, that sequence lacks any comment or example or
explanation, I have some trouble in understanding its definition
(maybe my brain is too old or just a bit tired...) - could anybody
familiar with these notations elaborate on that ?
(are the [] the floor function? what is p(x) ?)
Thanks in advance.
M.H.
