This works well for me:
stringOne =
"$\begin{picture}(10,10)\put(5,0){\circle 9}\put(2.5,-2.75){1}\end{picture}$"
stringTwo =
"$\begin{picture}(10,10)\put(5,0){\circle 9}\put(2.5,-2.75){2}\end{picture}$"
stringThree =
"$\begin{picture}(10,10)\put(5,0){\circle 9}\put(2.5,-2.75){3}\end{picture}$"
stringFour =
"$\begin{picture}(10,10)\put(5,0){\circle 9}\put(2.5,-2.75){4}\end{picture}$"
stringFive =
"$\begin{picture}(10,10)\put(5,0){\circle 9}\put(2.5,-2.75){5}\end{picture}$"
stringSix =
"$\begin{picture}(10,10)\put(5,0){\circle 9}\put(2.5,-2.75){6}\end{picture}$"
And then in your example:
ais8 a_\stringOne
Hope this helps
