Puzzle 357. Consecutive reversible primes A few weeks ago, while dialoguing with a reader of this site, I came up with the following curio: 1201,  1213,  1217,  1223,  1229,  1231,  1237, are 7 consecutive primes that are also all reversible primes; the concatenations of them 1201121312171223122912311237 is a prime too, and the reverse of the concatenation   7321132192213221712131211021 is a prime too.   Questions: Find a larger case

The first case of more than 7 primes is the 8 primes:
35547705709, 35547705727, 35547705731, 35547705749, 35547705757, 35547705827, 35547705829, 35547705841.

The reverse concatenated prime:
1485077455392850774553728507745537575077455394750774553137507745537275077455390750774553

The only other case below 10^12 is the 8 primes 184313483729 to 184313483971.

If we ignore the concatenation and its reversal, then problem 17 mentions the first case of more than 11 consecutive reversible primes below 10^12:
The 12 primes from 9387802769 to 9387803003.
This is the only case below 10^12.

To find the following, I did a brute force search using PARI (excluding of course numbers that began with 2,4,5,6 or 8). The odd thing is that l=7 series beginning at n=1201 is the lowest such n for ANY l>1. This series got me very curious so I did some extra searching and found one series where l=8.
