We report absolute frequency measurements of the molecular iodine P(46) 5-4 $a_{1}$, $a_{10}$, and $a_{15}$ hyperfine transitions at 647 nm with a fiber-based frequency comb. The light source is based on a Littrow-type external-cavity diode laser. A frequency stability of 5 $\times$ 10$^{-12}$ at a 200 s integration time is achieved when the light source is stabilized to the P(46) 5-4 $a_{15}$ line. The pressure shift is determined to be -8.3(7) kHz/Pa. Our determination of the line centers reached a precision of 21 kHz. The light source can serve as a reference laser for lithium atom spectroscopy ($2P \to 3P$).
