Puzzle 932. A puzzle about emirps.

J. M. Bergot posed a puzzle about emirps. Here is my reformulation of it:

Emirp points out to a pair of distinct primes such that any of them is the reverse of the other.

Emirp = (p & p') such that p=reverse(p') and p'=reverse(p)

Here are the first eight primes generating a couple of emirps: 13, 17, 31, 37, 71, 73, 79, 97, .(sequence A006567 in the OEIS)

For our puzzle we will consider the couple of primes that form an emirp as a unit.

(13 & 31)
(17 & 71)
etc...

The puzzle asks to find emirps such that for both primes of the emirp, the sum of the prime and its digits produces another emirp. Schematically:

For Emirp1=(p & p'), p+sod(p)=q and p'+sod(p')=r such that (q & q')=Emirp2 and (r & r')=Emirp3. This mean that Emirp1 define two Emirps: Emirp2 and Emirp 3.

Example: Emirp1=(1933, 3391), sod(p)=16 -> Emirp2=(1949, 9491), Emirp3=(3407,7043)

Q1. Send your largest example.

Q2. Send and example where both Emirp2 and Emirp3 behave as Emirp1 (this mean that Emirp1 will define six Emirps)
