What is the function of epimysium?

Epimysium is "the fibrous connective tissue layer surrounding a skeletal muscle" (Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Sixth Edition, Rod R. Seeley, Glossary). Therefore, I think that what epimysium does is to simply surround the skeletal muscle and protect it.

It protects muscles from friction against other muscles and bones.
