The fact that it is written in Latin makes the supposed authorship implausible.
At that date and location, it would have been written in Greek or one of the local languages.
That's why scholars think it was really written much later.

According to the source reference,

TextThis compilation purports to have been translated from Hebrew into Greek by "Eutropius", a disciple of Abdias, and, in the third century, from Greek into Latin by Julius Africanus, the friend of Origen, or as reported in Legenda Aurea by his disciple Tropaeus Africanus.[5]

I read that Wiki entry too, and the paragraph you quote was followed by this one;

Later scholarship determined the book was originally written in Latin, probably around 910 AD, long after the death of the Abdias who served as Bishop of Babylon.[6] The most obvious clues include the book's citations of the Vulgate of St Jerome, of the Ecclesiastical History of Rufinus and of his Latin translation of the Recognitiones of Clement.

I stand corrected.
