I must confess to some curiosity. To what 1967 lexicon do you
refer that prints ARR- with this combination of diacritics? BAG
(1st ed) was 1957 and it does not do so, nor does the 1965
abridgement by Gingrich. The 1968 supplement to L&S doesn't use
this convention. I'm hard pressed to think of any other lexicons
published in the 60s. Are we talking about a reprint ed. of an
older lexicon? (Thayer does not do this either.)

It's an analytical lexicon that I picked up in a second hand
bookshop. Unfortunately the front page was cut out, so I can
only offer limited information.
It's called "The Analytical Greek Lexicon", the publisher is S.
Bagster and Sons, London, and it is the 1967 reprint of an
earlier edition. I don't know the date of first publication or
the editor, I can't even find any initials that would offer a
clue.
It's hard to guess at the date of publication from the remainder
of the contents, but I'd guess at it being 70-80 years ago.
Perhaps someone who has a version with the front page can help.
.... and, of course, I should have written ARRWSTOS!
