Minuscule 484 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 322 (in the Soden numbering), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on thick cotton paper (charta Damascena). It is dated by a Colophon to the year 1291/1292.
The manuscript was prepared for liturgical use. It contains liturgical books. Scrivener labelled it by number 571. The manuscript has complex contents.
The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 258 thick paper leaves (size 34 cm by 25 cm). The leaves are arranged in octavo (eight leaves in quire). It is written in one column per page, 23-25 lines per page. In some parts the text is almost illegible.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 sections, the last section in 16:9), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains the prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, liturgical books with hagiographies (Synaxarion and Menologion), subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, numbers of στιχοι, and pictures. It is a fine copy, but much damaged.
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V. According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents to the textual family Family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It belongs to the textual cluster 74. According to Scrivener it is different from the codex 483 — written by the same scribe — only in 183 places (errors of itacisms excluded).
