[B-Greek] Matt 3:4: the scope of HN

   I recently was reading a study of honey and locusts
in John the Baptist's diet.  The author contrasted
Mark and Matthew on this because when Matthew says
(H DE TROFH HN AUTOU AKRIDES KAI MELI,
Matthew is saying that John's _only_ food was locsts
and honey.  This seems to me to place an awful lot of
weight on HN.  Is there any justification for seeing
this statement in such a narrow way grammatically? I
can't find any justification for that in the Greek
tools I have.  Thanks.
