I hope you don´t mind if I offer a few minor points regarding your translation.

 

I have inserted my ‘corrections’ within your translation,  but please remember that I am no expert so there is certainly no guarantee that my reading is rightJ If I’m wrong I’m sure I’ll find out about it from the true experts.

Auðun ventures off once again.

 

Ok nú gaf konungr honum silfr mjök mikit, ok fór hann suðr síðan með

And now the king gave him very much silver, and he went south after that

with

 

Rúmferlum, ok skipaði konungr til um ferð hans, bað hann koma til sín,

the Rome-bound pilgrims?, and the king arranged for his journey and he

bade (him)to come to him, [the hinn here is accusative, ie the object, with the subject understood]

 

er kvæmi aptr.

when (he) comes  [came] back.

 

Nú fór hann ferðar sinnar, unz hann kømr suðr í Rómaborg.  Ok er hann

Now he went (on) his journey, until he comes south to the city of Rome.

  And when he

 

hefir þar dvalizk, sem hann tíðir, þá ferr hann aptr; tekr þá sótt

has tarried there, as (long as he) wishes, then he goes back; then falls

very ill

 

mikla; gørir hann þá ákafliga magran.

then he becomes [it makes him (acc)] exceedingly thin.

 

Gengr þá upp alt féit þat er konungr hafði gefit honum til ferðarinnar;

Then all the wealth was [is] gone (of)that which? the king had given to him

for the journeys [gen sg];

 

tekr síðan upp stafkarls stíg, ok biðr sér matar.  Hann er þá kollóttr

after that (he) takes up a poor beggar’s path and asks for food for

himself.  He is then (with) shaven head

 

ok heldr ósælligr.

and rather unhappy.
