But the Premier League leaders managed to regain their composure.
An unfortunate own goal from Andre Dozel got them level before a Gabriel Martinelli header flipped the game on its head right before the break.
Arsenal stepped it up in the second half, with Martinelli going on to complete a fine hat-trick that put a gloss on the final score.
Even with 40 league places separating the two clubs, the frat and faithful were proud of the fight their team showed, and Arteta was quick to credit Pompey for their blistering start.
When we make that many changes, the cohesion isn't going to be perfect, he said.
We started exactly how we didn't want to, giving the momentum, an early goal and hope.
We had to fight back, and credit to them they made it very difficult for us especially early on.
The more we started to get the simple things right and dominate, our quality took over, we need everybody to be at it.
We have so many games coming up in different competitions, so we need to be ready, we're privileged to be where we are, still fighting in every competition.
Arteta had rung the changes for the cup tie, making 10 alterations to the team that drew with Liverpool.
He brought in some of the club's expensive summer signings, well aware of the giant killings that had already seen Premier League sides like Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest crash out.
He was determined not to let Arsenal's reputation in the competition slip as they chase their first FA Cup in six years.
This is part of the history of this competition, and I've experienced it myself on both sides," he told TNT Sports.
There's a lot to play for.
It's not just about getting to the next round.
It's your reputation.
And the club's reputation.
That's a big one.
And you have to play with that mindset when you come to grounds like these.
I think the desire and the quality of the boys shot in this period, which is the most demanding one through the year, to do what they've done, big credit to them.
